Crabs, the Bay & Chardonnay
Blue crabs in Baltimore Harbor? Why, how, and when. Have you ever seen a blue crab in Baltimore Harbor? How did it get there, and is it happy? These Maryland state crustaceans are common Harbor visitors during the warmer months, but do not start their life in Maryland. Come hear about their fascinating journey to Baltimore and their travels to harbors near and far.
