Sy Mohr's City Dock Harbormaster Collage speaks to the magical landscape that welcomes citizens and visitors alike to the City Dock and the historical City of Annapolis. His work takes us on a trip through time, progressively moving from the past in the foreground to present day representations in the background encompassing the eclectic mix of people and their streetscapes. The Maryland Statehouse and History Quest are among the many places to visit from here. Look around, follow your eyes, and go see all Annapolis has to offer.
