Annapolis, MD - Annapolis is well known for its symbols and traditions: boating, the Chesapeake Bay, oysters, blue crabs, the United States Naval Academy, maritime history, world-class boat shows, sock burning celebrations, the Navy vs. Army football game. The list goes on and on.
But perhaps one of the most unique, time-honored traditions is the Maritime Republic of Eastport (MRE) Tug of War. Unfortunately, last year a "temporary truce" was called due to COVID restrictions, however, the competition will return November 2021 in full swing (or should we say, full pull) on Spa Creek! The Maritime Republic of Eastport is still planning out this year's event and will release more details as they become available on their website.
