Inscription. The maritime industry and the history of Annapolis are closely intertwined.

Eastport was developed after the Civil War as Horn Point and renamed Eastport in 1888; it was not annexed as part of Annapolis until 1951. Today, Eastport is known for its working boatyards, restaurant row, and the Annapolis Maritime Museum, located at the end of Second Street on Back Creek.
