== History ==
The settlement of [[Lord Baltimore]]'s Maryland began with the arrival of passengers from [[England]] at [[St. Clement's Island]] in the [[Potomac River]] in what is now southwestern St. Mary's County on March 25, 1634 (the anniversary of this landing being annually celebrated as [[Maryland Day]]). The passengers arrived in two vessels, the ''Ark'' and the ''Dove,'' which had set sail from the [[Isle of Wight]] on November 22, 1633.
