Awesome documentary, I live on a sailboat in California and would love to sail to the Chesapeake someday! I grew up on the Delaware River and would throughly enjoy spending time on the Chesapeake. Sad that agriculture is poisoning the water but hopefully we stop the runoff of highly contaminated nitrogen and chemicals etc. as it is a crime against our Mother, our planet that gives us life! Don’t pray, do something!

I hope you get the chance to do this! Sounds like it would be a wonderful trip 🌍✨
Thank you for a beautifully filmed documentary. I love getting to see the beautiful scenery of my own country and hearing about the history of each place. The Chesapeake bay area is truly one of the most beautiful areas of America. May God bless and keep America as a shining beacon to all the world, for His Glory.
Thanks for the notification,God bless the states from México
Very good documentary
"Busiest canal of its kind" can't it be compared to the Kiel Canal? 😁 Love these films! 🤩
Clint Eastwood filmed a few scenes for a movie at the light house. Ran a car off the cliff next to the white house
Meters, this is America. Really.
... in Maryland to dredge oysters ... it is either by tongs or under sail ... no motors allowed. Was that Log Canoe the Bufflehead??? She was built recently ... along w "Caroline" and the Eve ... all other date from the 1940's or much earlier ... but most have been rebuilt several times ...
4:51 Maryland's mainland is on the RIGHT at this point. 5:40 Heading southwest from Turkey Point lands you on the WESTERN shoreline of the Bay. 6:00 Cecil County is South EAST of Turkey point. 7:20 Rock Hall would not export animal skins from the west, because the Bay is literally the western edge of Rock Hall. 7:40 Eastern Neck Island is on the tip of the Kent County Peninsula, which is on the Eastern Shore, not the Maryland mainland. That's just what I am sure is inaccurate. The title isn't very accurate, as its more than just the C and D Canal. And sadly, the Key bridge is no more, just two months after this video was released.
1st bridge is the new st George's bridge smh or rt 1
Севастополь привет!
And it makes the Eastern shore a disconnected land of freedom from the infested, blue REST of Maryland.
