St. Marys City Things to Do: 16 reviews and 43 photos
Historically the Ark and the Dove brought 140 settlers to the shores of St. Mary's County in 1634. The is a relica of the boats on the waterfront just behind the State House. The can be viewed and tours are available. However on the day I was here I walked down the path to see the boat and there was no boat. There was a sign saying the boat is located here. There was descriptions, and a place to stand in line to visit the boat. But there was no boat! I have no idea where it was or why it wasn't there. It might have been out on a goodwill tour for the State of Maryland, or may have been someplace getting repairs. There was no sign or information about its whereabouts. So some forty years after learning about the Ark and the Dove in elementary school, I finally get to St. Mary's City, and I still have not seen the boat.
