Languages : en

Book Description
"When the Walkers journeyed to Ocean City, Maryland, it was to enjoy summers filled with target practice on the beach, hunting the abundant waterfowl, fishing, boating, picnicking, and bathing in the ocean. In 1908, William and Nannie Letitia Walker purchased a lot from the Sinepuxent Beach Company of Baltimore and built a small hunting lodge that, by 1910, had become a sturdy cottage. The Walkers named their summer home, which still stands at the corner of Baltimore Avenue and Seventh Street, "Romarletta," for their children Robert, Margaret, and Letitia.".

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
A vacation destination and a historic small town: two places that make Maryland great—and ghostly. More chills from the author of Haunted Eastern Shore. A ghostly sea captain, an ill-fated lover and jazz musicians who go on playing long after their last songs—these are the spirits that make their presence known from Ocean City’s Boardwalk to the picturesque town square of Berlin. The phantom scent of a woman’s perfume floats from Trimper’s carousel, while the Ocean City Life-Saving Station is haunted by the ghost of a drowned sailor. In Berlin, some guests never check out of the Atlantic Hotel, and strange happenings have been reported at the Rackliffe House, where legend has it that a cruel plantation owner was murdered by his slaves. Author and guide Mindie Burgoyne takes a chilling journey through the haunted history and lore of Ocean City and Berlin. Includes photos!

City on the Sand
Author: Mary Corddry

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
In a little more than a hundred years, a desolate barrier island in Maryland became a teeming resort city. The story of how that feat was achieved is the heart of Mary Corddry's absorbing book. It is also the tale of opposites: the special affection thousands of Marylanders have for this unique place and the growing concern over the dune and marsh ecology and the effect of high density development on it. Here is a narrative of shifting sands and shifting fortunes, recounting how Ocean City has weathered natural and economic setbacks to become, every summer, Maryland's second-largest city.
