HISTORY:

Maryland Dove is a reconstruction of the original Dove, a 17th-century trading ship. Hired by Cecil Calvert, the Dove accompanied the Ark, a vessel holding 140 colonists and their equipment to what is now Maryland in 1634. Later that year, Dove was sent north to Boston to trade corn for salt cod and other commodities, and in August of 1635, Dove was sent back to England with furs and timber to trade. Dove was never seen again, probably lost at sea. The new Maryland Dove, launched in 2022, serves as an ambassador for Historic St. Mary’s and as a public educational exhibit. Maryland Dove is owned by the state of Maryland and operated and maintained by the Historic St. Mary’s City Commission.

The photograph was taken outside. A child, around two or three years old, is holding a small wooden mallet in one hand and a flower in the other. She is sitting at a wooden picnic table, in front of her are two small paper plates and a handful of leaves and wildflowers in front of her. She is wearing yellow sunglasses and is focused on her work. She is making a craft as part of the Little Explorers toddler program.
