Preamble and Resolutions relative to removing the ob-
structions to the entrance of the Harbour of Annapolis.
WHEREAS, a sand bar or shoal at or near the mouth of
the Severn river, prevents vessels of the largest class from
entering the harbour of Annapolis, which, it is believed,
may be removed at an inconsiderable expense, when com-
pared with the great advantages which would he realized
to the commerce and navigation of the country from such
improvement, and which deserves attention in a national
point of view, Annapolis being one of the most safe winter
harbours in the United States, affording a depth of water
sufficient for a seventy-four gun ship, and having adjoining
to it a beautiful sheet of water called The Round Bay, in
which numerous vessels of the largest class may ride in
safety, Therefore,
Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
our senators and representatives in congress be and they
are hereby requested, to use their endeavours to obtain at
the present session, from the congress of the United States,
an appropriation for removing the obstructions to the en-
trance of the harbour of Annapolis.
Resolved, That his excellency the governor be request-
ed to transmit a copy of the preceding preamble and reso-
lutions to each of our senators and representatives, to be by
them submitted to the consideration of both houses of con-
gress.
