Chesapeake Bay

A vastly sweeping arc that extends eastward from Colonial Bay to both the north and south. Much of the coastline is marshy and shallow, offering a picturesque haven for wildlife and stunning views for passing pleasure-craft, large and small, that ply the deeper waters off-shore. Colonial Bay itself naturally offers shelter from storms and a deeper anchorage suitable for commercial vessels. Over the years this has been augmented by constant dredging to maintain and even improve the port's capacity and profitability.
