Nestled where the Severn and South Rivers empty into the Chesapeake Bay, the Capital of Maryland is home to just over 40,000 people. Annapolis is named for the Queen of England who ruled at the start of the 18th Century. It is also home to the United States Naval Academy which sits on former Fort Severn, which was built to fend off attacks from England a century later. This iron cover from the Annapolis Maryland Sewerage Commission is a rare find these days. The initials of the utility occupy the center surrounded by a diamond hatch pattern. Pickpoints are at the east and west quadrants and an added native crustacean has washed up within that field of diamonds as they occasionally do during the frequent tidal surges.
