As pointed out in the comments, the author of a prior post made a terrible oversight in this photo as they didn’t emphasise the building you see here: The Jerusalem Gun Factory. From what I gathered in the tour, weapon stocks were built in this building for a short time and hence it garnered the name.

Funny, I think both posts had the same author.

BTW, the guns in the light blue jacket were even more impressive ;).

Maryland Day is a legal holiday in the U.S. state of Maryland. It is observed on the anniversary of the March 25, 1634 landing of settlers in the Province of Maryland.
On this day settlers from The Ark and The Dove first stepped foot onto Maryland soil, at St. Clement’s Island in the Potomac River. The colony was granted to Cæcilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore two years prior by Charles I of England. In thanksgiving for the safe landing, Jesuit Father Andrew White celebrated mass for the colonists, perhaps for the first time ever in this part of the world. The landing coincided with the Feast of the Annunciation, a holy day honoring Mary, and the start of the new year in England’s legal calendar (prior to 1752).
The holiday began in 1903, the date chosen by the state board of education to honor Maryland history. In 1916, the legislature authorized Maryland Day as a legal holiday (Chapter 633, Acts of 1916).
Shame on MDDP for not mentioning this yet.

Ouch, that snuck up fast. I am terribly shamed for not having a post ready for Maryland Day. This will never happen again.

Nice save Shelly. Besides, the headline makes up for any omission. And, for a fun time, here’s a link to entertain everyone during the workday (yes it’s a real site. and yes this is what I look at during my vacation time):
