Terror on the Pier Ocean waves crashed onto the beach as the old wooden pier swayed gently in the hot summer evening breeze. Overhead hung an old rusty sign, “Ocean City Maryland Fishing Pier.” The sweet smell of ocean air filled my nostrils as the hot July evening sun toasted my skin. Quickly, my older brother Zach, my mom, and I made our way to the small wooden shack, in the middle of the pier. To begin, my dream, for as long as I can remember was to go fishing in the ocean and catch a real shark
have heard the legends and lore of Maryland. After asking many students, one of my friends knew one from her hometown of Ellicott, Maryland. This friend is a twenty-year-old junior, majoring in finance and accounting. She was born in Virginia but moved around quite a bit during her early childhood. She is Indian, and moved to India at the age of five and lived there for seven years. When she was twelve, she moved to Maryland, and finally moved to Ellicott City, where she resides. She is an only
recent visit to the shore side of Ocean City, New Jersey, the memories and senses never abandon my mind. All I can recall is the wondrous combination of the scorching heat, the grainy sand in between my toes, and the overwhelming smell of salt and delicious foods . . . I feel as if I am standing right there right now! Who could ever relinquish the beauty of the shore, the healing the shore accomplishes, and the tastes of the wondrous foods? Firstly, Ocean City boasts an awe-inspiring appeal to our
to help you? If you're wondering what this big danger is, then you should stick around because let's just say has to do with splashing waves and a load of water. Going back about two years ago, my entire family and I went on a trip to Ocean City, Maryland. I started off my day by waking up in the morning and realizing that my luggage was all packed up. I went outside to check if anyone was at the front of my house. I saw my cousins and I got a small adrenaline of excitement. As I was in my
operates the generator making electricity. One new idea is building wind turbines offshore in the mid-Atlantic. Offshore building of wind turbines means that these large turbines will be placed in the Atlantic Ocean. The building of these wind turbines will provide energy to states like Maryland, Delaware, New York, Virginia, and New Jersey. These states want to start this project as soon as possible so that the states can start saving money. Since these regions right now are burning fossil fuels uncontrollably
While watching the Ted Talk, we came across terms like mitigation, adaption and risk. These terms have their own specific meaning and have a close connection with climate change. Mitigation refers to minimizing the fallout of disasters in terms of life and property by preparing in advance for the disasters. Risk refers to threats to human beings and things that are important to us. Adaptation literally means to adapt or adjust to changing situations or systems, taking advantage of a situation or
Ocean City offers a wide variety of dining choices. My favorite restaurant is the Marina Deck located at 306 Dorchester Street. Try their cream of crab soup for a taste of true Maryland cuisine, or select from any of their seafood dishes, everything is very good. As with any restaurant, house specialties are always the best so don't go to a seafood restaurant expecting great ribs. Marina Deck is a must visit while in Ocean City. If you're in the mood for ribs or beef I would suggest Nick's Original
Joshua Edward Ford and Martha Margene "Geney" Crutchley took a vacation in Ocean City, Maryland, during Memorial Day weekend in 2002. Joshua and Martha were never heard from again after a night out on Saturday, May 25, 2002. The last time the couple were seen was at Seacret’s Club leaving with another couple. After the Memorial Day weekend, when Joshua and Martha didn’t show up for work, co-workers and family were concerned. Police filed a missing person’s report and later discovered that Joshua
of yourself laying in the nice warm sand right aide of the ocean. You hear the waves crashing against the coast as everything on your mind just slowly disappears. It just simply doesn’t get better than that. When you think of the Beach, a lot of people picture different places in their minds. When I picture the beach, it’s a place not too far from home, it’s the shores of Maryland and Delaware. I often find myself daydreaming of Ocean City. I believe it’s just because I was around the beach so much
a new and creepier way to scare Marylanders” (Cockrum). Point Lookout is one of the places I found the most information on. Point Lookout is a mysterious atmosphere on the southern tip of Maryland. Point lookout has a lighthouse that was established and used for 135 years. It began as one of the first Maryland governor’s properties. Also, it has been the sight of many unbelievable tragedies and paranormal activity. In the lighthouse, there has been “pictures taken of ghosts, various frightening EVPs
Wind speed picked up to a high of 105 miles per hour, and in Roanoke Virginia, it was 62 miles per hour. The storm surge, which is flooding from the ocean, destroyed houses, roads, and destroyed seawalls in North Carolina post-Hurricane Connie which happened a few days prior. Inland flooding was even worse than the storm surge. The Poconos and the Delaware River were hit the worst in history, the Broadhead
“The wealth of the nation is its air, water, soil, forests, minerals, rivers, lakes, oceans, scenic beauty, wildlife habitats, and biodiversity . . . that’s all there is” (Gaylord). Throughout the recent decades, the wealth of the Chesapeake Bay and adjacent rivers have been affected by a phenomenon called eutrophication. that occurs when there is an excess of a nutrient limited in the water, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediments (Eney 2009). Those nutrients are naturally good in the environment
The Bermuda Triangle (the Devil’s Triangle), is a stretch of the Atlantic Ocean bordered by a line from Florida, to the islands of Bermuda, to Puerto Rico and then back to Florida. It is well known for all the mysterious things that happen within it. It got its name from a news article written by VIncent H. Gaddis in 1964. He claimed that in that part of the Atlantic ocean, a large amount of ships and planes have went missing without any explanation. He wasn’t the first to claim something about that
Gregg Ochs English IV/ Period 3 Cohen 11/26/13 Segregation in the South during the 20th Century Being African American in the south during the 1900’s was not a thing to be proud of. They were segregated and also treated with extreme disrespect, but they did not go a long silently. Opposition to segregation was very common, but finally during the 1960’s African Americans banded together to end segregation and gain the rights they deserve. Segregation was more than just the different water fountains
place-names would cause a state of confusion among the world because no one would ever be able to locate destinations. Our sense of where we are depends on place-names. Place-names also have some type of historic value. Simply from studying the different cities located in Minnesota, we are able to trace the ancestry of this land back to the Finnish people. While traveling around the state of Minnesota, the different place-names can help you easily pinpoint who settled what lands, whether it have been the
Florida location, we are only just over an hours drive from the Atlantic Ocean, and an hour and a half from the Gulf of Mexico allowing us to sell fresh Grouper at market prices.

for gold, thinly veiled by the claims of a desire for the ‘savages’ and ‘heathens’ of the land to convert to Catholicism. The conquistadors methods of, (as Ferdinand and Isabella put it.) “Discovering and subduing” the “islands and continent in the ocean” were harsh and inhumane. The Spanish didn’t see or treat the Indians as humans. They treated the Indian killings as a sport. They forced them to conform to the Spanish way of life, and they coerced them to the level of chattel. These methods of dehumanization
and acres of land, this increased the need for a more connected United States through new transportation methods. Most rivers ran N-S not E-W; wagons were slow. In 1811 the U.S National government opened the first Federally paid road in Cumberland, Maryland to open up the West for settlers. This was controversial because it crossed many states; those that not support it, did not want to pay for it; this resulted in transportation being left up to individual states or to private investors or wealthy

The United States of America was a mere dream to many people living across seas in Britain, a place where they could find God, gold, and glory (Lybbert, 2010). Upon arrival of what seemed to be the dreamland, settlers quickly realized that it would not take long for the newly established governments to institute their individual forms of creating economic wealth. Whatever early colonial economy was there had come from trapping and trading furs. Also at this time, the fishing industry was the primary
