Going Down the Ocean, A Brief History of Ocean City, Maryland will
chronicle the long and colorful history of Maryland's premier ocean
resort. Beginning with the visit of the explorer Giovanni da
Verrazano, this book will examine the arrival of Asssateague's
famous ponies, visits by Blackbeard and other pirates, the birth of
Steven Decatur, and brave soldiers who fought in the Civil War.
After Ocean City was founded in the late 19th century, the resort
became a mecca for vacationers, who enjoyed the surf and sand along
side the pound fishermen who worked their nets a short distance off
shore. During the 20th century, Ocean City witnessed the arrival of
the automobile, bootleggers, and German submarines. Following the
Second World War, Bobby Baker, confidant to Lyndon Johnson, built a
motel on the barren dunes to the north and helped ignite the
condominium boom that saw Ocean City grow all the way to the
Delaware line.
