A presence of the past: a maritime museum and visitor center in historic Annapolis

The place where the sea and the sky meet is a definition unknown on any map. Only the fisherman and his boat experience this unity.

The mast as the symbol of the tree was the reminder of the land Just as the soil was the sign of man's position, his distance from land. The enormous material interaction between the flat surface and the column determined the construction of the boat.

The creation of a boat is a challenge to the sea, but the dream of an everlasting existance is an act taken against all the elements.
