The Maryland Dove
St. Mary's City, United States of America
Maryland Dove is a re-creation of the Dove, an early 17th-century English trading ship, one of two ships (the other being The Ark) which made up the first expedition from the Kingdom of England to the Province of Maryland. The 1978 Dove was designed by the naval architect and naval historian William
A. Baker. The namesake Dove was a trading vessel that could be sailed by a crew of seven. The much larger Ark, was a passenger ship, and was sailed by a crew of 40 or more. The Dove was left behind as a local trading vessel to facilitate commerce between Maryland and the other colonies.
