The plaque says, "Take this path down to the waterfront where you will find a quiet stretch of shoreline along the St. Mary's River - not unlike what the colonists enchanted when they arrived in 1634. This river has influenced the lives of the people who lived near it or traveled on it for centuries.

As you move along the path you will see native plants typical of southern Maryland. Look carefully and you might catch a glimpse of wildlife or see birds moving serenely above the water. Listen for the gentle lapping of waved as they touch the shore just as they have since the river was created.

At the bottom of the path you will find the Maryland Dove at anchor. Please go aboard and experience a taste of life on a vessel representative of 17th-century coastal trading ships."
