Maryland Manual 1994-1995
To commemorate the quincentenary of the encoun-
ter of Christopher Columbus with the new world,
the Commission sponsored three main programs.
In October 1990, an educational seminar was held
in Baltimore to plan the "Encounter Kit," a quin-
centenary curriculum for public school students. In
1992, an ecological program, "1,992 Encounters
with the Chesapeake," included a visit by the Span-
ish caravelles, the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa
Maria in the spring; a visit of the "tall ships" that
summer; and the 3rd Annual Columbus Cup sailing
race in October. A Native American exposition was
held also in October 1992 at College Park. In addition,
the Commission provided Maryland's representation
on the national Christopher Columbus Quincentenary
Commission.
The final report of the Commission is expected in
April 1994.
