Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

9. SCAMDI_170820_043.JPG: The American's Creed [by William Tyler Page] I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

38. SCAMDI_170820_248.JPG: The Burning of the Peggy Stewart Artist: Francis Blackwell Mayer (1827-1899), 1896 Old House of Delegates Chamber In October, 1774, Annapolis experienced its own "tea party," reminiscent of the uprising that occurred the year before in Boston Harbor. When the brigantine Peggy Stewart arrived at the port of Annapolis on Friday, October 14, laden with a cargo of tea, its contents were subject to a highly controversial tax imposed by Britain on goods imported to America. When the owner of the Peggy Stewart, Anthony Stewart, paid the "tea tax," he violated the non-importation resolution implemented by the colonists in protest. By Wednesday, October 19, a crowd had gathered in Annapolis threatening Stewart's life if he did not destroy the ship and its cargo. Unwilling to accept Stewart's offer to destroy the tea, the crowd demanded that the vessel be burned. Fearing the mob might attack his home where his wife lay ill, Stewart gave in to their demands. Artist Frank B. Mayer depicts the scene when Stewart, escorted aboard the Peggy Stewart by members of the crowd, was forced to set alight his own ship and its cargo of tea.

SCAMDI_170820_282.JPG: The Planting of the Colony of Maryland Artist: Francis Blackwell Mayer (1827-1899), 1893 Old House of Delegates Chamber This painting commemorates the landing of the first settlers in the colony of Maryland on March 25, 1634 on St. Clement's Island in what is now St. Mary's County. Led by Leonard Calvert, first proprietary governor, the group departed from Cowes, England, in November 1633 aboard two ships, the Ark and the Dove. In this scene, the settlers, in thanksgiving for their safe arrival, prepare to erect a rough-hewn cross, symbolizing the religious tolerance upon which the colony was founded. The events of this historic day are commemorated annually on March 25, "Maryland Day." In creating this image, the artist Frank B. Mayer relied upon the first person account of Father Andrew White, a Jesuit priest who was among the original settlers. Father White is depicted at the far left of the image, following the procession of cross-bearers. Governor Leonard Calvert is depicted at the center of the painting, with a sword at his side.

54. SCAMDI_170820_375.JPG: William Pitt (1708-1778) Artist: Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827), 1768 Delegate Chamber Known as the "Great Commoner," Whig statesman William Pitt was born near London in 1708. He was elected to the House of Commons and served as Secretary of State. In 1766 Pitt was named Earl of Chatham, at which time he assumed a place in the House of Lords. Pitt was an active proponent of colonial rights. American colonists admired him for his opposition to the Stamp Act of 1765, in which Parliament taxed nearly every paper document passing through colonists' hands, including newspapers, licenses, and even playing cards. Pitt believed that Parliament should pursue increased trade, not taxation, with colonists to generate revenue. Englishman Edmund Jenings arranged for Maryland artist Charles Willson Peale to paint a portrait of Pitt while Peale was studying in England. Jenings had been asked by a group of wealthy Virginia businessmen from Westmoreland County to procure a portrait of a British leader sympathetic to colonial American rights for display in the lower house of the Virginia legislature. When the first choice, a portrait of Charles Pratt, Baron Camden, by American expatriate Benjamin West, did not materialize, Jenings turned to the relatively inexperienced Peale for a portrait of Pitt. Seeing an opportunity to make his artistic mark, Peale accepted the commission, painting two full-length versions of the Pitt portrait. He based his likeness on a bust of Pitt by British sculptor Joseph Wilton (1722-1803). Peale's portrait of Pitt shows him in a setting filled with objects that carried particular meanings, or symbols. The portrait has been called an allegory, for many of the details in it can be interpreted as republican symbols. For instance, Pitt appears not in the robes of an earl, but in classical dress. This associated the statesman with classical Roman heroes who would have worn similar attire (it also avoided connecting Pitt with English aristocracy, which might not have been received well by American viewers). In a 1768 broadside, Peale described other republican symbols in the painting, such as the copy of Magna Carta Pitt holds in his left hand. The original English document, written in 1215 in Runnymede, allowed that the basic rights of English barons (and later, freemen) be recorded and confirmed with King John's royal seal. American colonists looked to this document as a model for their own Declaration of Independence. Pitt points with his right hand to a statue of British liberty. The female figure holds a staff topped with the liberty cap of the ancient Romans. Ironically, she tramples the petition against the Stamp Act drafted at the 1765 Congress at New York. For Peale, Liberty's represented action signified that "States which enjoy the highest Degree of Liberty are apt to be oppressive of those who are subordinate." Other symbols in the portrait include the American Indian, who, with a dog at his side, shows the faithfulness and firmness of America; an altar with a perpetual flame, illustrating the sacred cause of liberty, on which are carved busts of the famous Whigs Hampden and Sidney; and, in the background of the portrait, the Banqueting House of Whitehall, from which British monarch Charles I was led to his execution in 1649 after years of dispute with Parliament resulted in English civil war. Peale, a fervent supporter of republican values, drew many of these visual details from established symbolism created by Whig artists. They would have been recognizable to both English and American audiences. The Peale portrait of Pitt that hangs in the Maryland State House was the first of the two versions Peale painted. The second, per the conditions of the original commission, was sent to Westmoreland County. It now hangs in the Westmoreland County Museum in Montross, VA. Peale offered the first version to the Maryland legislature in a resolution introduced by John Ridout in 1774: "Charles Wilson [sic] Peale of the City of Annapolis Limner, impressed with a strong sense of Duty to his native Province projected when in London and since hath compleated the portrait of the Earl of Chatham on Canvass at full length, with a view humbly to offer the same to his Country, as a tribute of Gratitude, And presumes to entreat a favourable acceptance of that portrait, to be placed in the State House or such other conspicuous place as shall be thought most fit and Convenient. Thus eminently to dispose of the first Fruit of his Science will much redound to his Reputation and confer an Honour which he shall forever acknowledge with Gratitude and Thanks." (Upper House Journal 37, pp. 6-7) The Assembly accepted Peale's offer and presented him a "compliment" of one hundred pounds. Peale also produced a mezzotint, or print, after the Westmoreland portrait, a copy of which is held by the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.

62. SCAMDI_170820_422.JPG: Washington, Lafayette & Tilghman at Yorktown Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827) 1784 Oil on canvas Signed lower left: "C.W.Peale pinxt 1782" MSA SC 1545-1120 Washington, Lafayette, & Tilghman at Yorktown by Charles Willson Peale In October 1781, British General Charles Cornwallis surrendered to General George Washington (1732-1799) at Yorktown, VA, effectively ending the Revolutionary War. In enthusiastic response, the Maryland House of Delegates asked Governor Thomas Sim Lee to commission Maryland-born Charles Willson Peale to paint a portrait of colonial America's hero, General Washington. Lee wrote to Peale in December 1781: "The Honorable Delegates of Maryland have Unanimously resolved to have the Portrait of His Excellency General Washington, at full length, to be placed in their House, in grateful remembrance of that most Illustrious Character." (Letter from Governor Thomas Sim Lee to Charles Willson Peale, December 7, 1781; reprinted in The Selected Papers of Charles Willson Peale and His Family, vol. 1). Peale, at that time residing in Philadelphia, accepted the commission, anticipating it would increase his artistic stature and likely lead to further public commissions. It took the artist about three years to complete the portrait, as he wished to make it "something better than a mere Coppy [sic]" (Letter from Charles Willson Peale to Samuel Chase, November 23, 1784; reprinted in The Selected Papers of Charles Willson Peale and His Family, vol. 1). In the end, Peale produced a large-scale painting that exceeded the delegates' request. In addition to painting Washington, whose likeness Peale based on an 1783 sitting that took place in Philadelphia, Peale added two figures to the foreground of his composition. The first, to Washington's immediate left, is the Marquis de Lafayette, who represents the pivotal alliance between colonial America and France that led to victory in the Revolution. Peale initially relied on a bust of Lafayette to produce the latter's painted image, although Lafayette saw the painting as it was nearly finished, and offered to sit for Peale so the artist could tweak his likeness. The second figure Peale added is Lieutenant Colonel Tench Tilghman (1744-1786), a Marylander who served as Washington's military secretary and aide-de-camp, who is shown in profile. Tilghman's portrait was painted from life. Tilghman's inclusion in the scene was appropriate for a painting that was intended to hang in Maryland. Born in Talbot County, Tilghman studied in Philadelphia and began a career there as a businessman. In 1776, he volunteered his services to George Washington and became his military secretary and aide-de-camp. Tilghman served without pay until May 1781 when Washington was able to arrange for him a regular commission in the Continental Army. Washington called Tilghman a "zealous Servant and slave to the public, and a faithful assistant to me for near five years." (Papers of George Washington, Letter to Sullivan, May 11, 1781). To reward Tilghman's service, Washington sent him to deliver formally the news of Cornwallis' surrender to the Continental Congress, which then was meeting at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Appropriately, Peale painted Tilghman with the 1781 Yorktown Articles of Capitulation in his left hand. In addition, Tilghman is portrayed wearing his ceremonial officer's sword. Peale painted the sword faithfully, as a careful comparison with the original (also on exhibit in the Old Senate Chamber of the Maryland State House) demonstrates. The portrait setting includes important historical details. The background shows Yorktown from the southeast. In the left middleground are soldiers of various nationalities carrying flags. On the far left is a French soldier, holding the royal Bourbon flag of France, with its white field and fleur-de-lis. In the center of the group are two British soldiers with their flags cased. To the right is an American soldier holding the regimental standard, identifiable with its red and white stripes and a blue field on which is painted an American eagle. As Peale described the setting: "I have made in the distance a View of York & Gloster with the British army surrendering in the order in which it happened. And in the middle distance I have introduced French & American officers with Colours of their nations displayed, between them the British with their Colours cased. These figures seem to tell the story at first sight, which the more distant could not so readily do" (Letter from Charles Willson Peale to William Paca, September 7, 1784; reprinted in The Selected Papers of Charles Willson Peale and His Family, Vol. 1) Upon nearing the completion of the painting, Peale wrote to then Governor William Paca in September 1784, reporting on his progress and appealing to the governor to compensate him for painting the three full-length figures. The legislature agreed to Peale's request, paying him �213.4.8 for both the painting and its frame, which Peale designed and Annapolis cabinetmakers John Shaw and Archibald Chilsolm assembled. The artist traveled from Philadelphia to deliver the painting to the State House in December 1784.

64. SCAMDI_170820_432.JPG: Tench Tilghman Swords Colonel Tench Tilghman (1744-1786) The two swords belonging to Tench Tilghman were left to the state by Mrs. Judith Goldsborough Oates who died on December 26, 1997. Mrs. Oates was a direct descendent of Tench Tilghman. The larger sword is made of silver with gold inlay and is the one worn by Col. Tilghman in the portrait of Washington, Lafayette & Tilghman at Yorktown which hangs in the Old Senate Chamber. The sword is clearly depicted by the artist Charles Willson Peale. The history of the portrait and Washington's own words show the importance Tilghman's faithful service and friendship during the War. According to family tradition, the other sword was passed down to Tench Tilghman from his great-great-grandfather, Michael Turbutt. The swords were accepted for the state by Governor Parris N. Glendening and the Board of Public Works on February 4, 1998 and were installed in the Old Senate Chamber on February 16 at a ceremony with the Maryland Senate in honor of George Washington's birthday. The gift of the swords was reported in an article in the Baltimore Sun on February 4 which featured State Archivist Edward C. Papenfuse and Archives' Conservation Officer Hanna Sczcepanowska who prepared the swords for presentation and permanent exhibition. "...zealous servant and slave to the public" Tench Tilghman was born on December 25, 1744 in Talbot County on his father's plantation. He was educated privately until the age of 14, when he went to Philadelphia to live with his grandfather, Tench Francis. In 1761, he graduated from the College and Academy of Philadelphia, which later became the University of Pennsylvania, and then went into business with his uncle Tench Francis, Jr. until just before the Revolutionary War. Tench Tilghman's public service began with his appointment by Congress to a commission established to form treaties with the Six Nations of Indian tribes. In 1776, Tilghman was commissioned captain in the Pennsylvania Battalion of the Flying Camp. In August 1776, he joined George Washington's staff as aide-de-camp and secretary. He served without pay until May 1781, when Washington, calling him a "zealous servant and slave to the public, and faithful assistant to me for nearly five years," procured for him a regular commission in the Continental Army. Following the victory at Yorktown, Washington rewarded him with the honor of carrying the Articles of Capitulation to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. After the War, Tilghman returned to Maryland where he resumed his career in business in Baltimore and married his cousin, Anna Marie Tilghman. They had two daughters, Anna Margaretta and Elizabeth Tench. Tilghman died on April 18, 1786 at the age of 41. George Washington said of his long-time assistant: "None could have felt his death with more regret than I did, because no one entertained a higher opinion of his worth or had imbibed sentiments of greater friendship for him than I had done."

Not only do its pieces portray the houses, churches, and events of Maryland history, but their decorative borders symbolize the economy and culture of the state. Horns of plenty speak of hospitable, fruitful Maryland - "The land of pleasant living." Festooned tobacco leaves and oyster shell borders symbolize the importance of both land and water in the life of our state. Rope borders on each piece show the nautical purpose of the USS Maryland is carved into the design, and the names of 12 noteworthy Maryland naval officers appear on the 12 punch cups. On July 21, 1921, the U. S. Navy commissioned the battleship Maryland to replace the original cruiser, and the silver service was transferred aboard the new ship. After 26 years of service, including war-related duty during World War II, the Maryland, Fighting Mary, was decommissioned on April 3, 1947. The silver service, which had been in storage during the war, was returned to Baltimore. The silver was displayed in the main gallery of the Maryland Historical Society until 1962, when, with the Help of Admiral Hill, the silver was placed on permanent display in the State House. In 1992, the submarine USS Maryland (SSBN 738) was commissioned and four pieces of the Maryland Silver Service were placed aboard her, where they remain to this day. This unique and wonderful silver service a memorial to the history and people of Maryland.

95. SCAMDI_170820_576.JPG: The Landing of the Maryland Colonists from the Ark & the Dove, St. Clement's Island, March 25, 1634 Artist: Peter Egeli, c. 1975 This painting depicts an incident, reported by Father Andrew White, which occurred soon after the colonists arrived at St. Clement's Island on the Potomac River. A small boat had been sent ashore, with some women to wash clothes. At the shore the boat capsized and many of the precious linens were lost. Men on the stern of the Ark can be seen pointing to the shore, where the bottom of the overturned boat is barely visible. People are trying to recover the lost goods. The Dove is being hailed to help while the Ark's longboat has been launched and will soon be pulling for shore to lend some hands." Artist's statement, Peter E. Egeli The ship Ark and the pinnace Dove, set sail from Cowes, Isle of Wight, England on November 22, 1633. They first landed at St. Clement's (now Blakiston) Island on March 23, 1634. On March 25, Father White celebrated a mass of thanksgiving for their safe arrival in Maryland – which we continue to celebrate as Maryland Day. At the time of their landing, St. Clement's Island was approximately 400 acres. Accessible only by boat, it is now the St. Clement's Island State Park. Erosion has left the island at only 62 acres. Governor Leonard Calvert, who had sailed aboard the Ark, soon thereafter decided to move the settlement to St. Mary's City, the capitol of Maryland until 1695 when it was moved to Annapolis. His portrait, attributed to James Van Oost I or II, c. 1640 hangs directly opposite the Ark & the Dove, in the pier between the two windows. This painting gives the viewer an interesting vantage point, from sea level. It is powerful and evocative, and makes one consider the vastness of the water and the landscape that the first settlers experienced upon their arrival.

210. SCAMDI_130106_190.JPG: "His voice faltered and sunk, and the whole house felt his agitations." On January 22, 2007, the Maryland State Archives acquired the original draft of George Washington's resignation speech as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. In addition, the Archives acquired the letter than James McHenry wrote to his future wife, Margaret (Peggy) Caldwell describing the ceremony. It is most appropriate that these two documents will be displayed in the State House, within sight of where this historic event took place. Until this acquisition, Maryland had not owned any documents or artifacts related directly to Washington's resignation. The display of these documents will add immeasurably to the interpretation of the State House and to visitors' understanding of the role that Maryland played in the formation of our nation. James McHenry (1753-1816) emigrated from Ireland to Philadelphia in 1771 and studied at the Newark Academy in Delaware before pursuing a career in medicine under the tutelage of the renowned Dr. Benjamin Rush in Philadelphia. During the American Revolutionary War, McHenry initially served a military surgeon. In 1776, while on the staff of the 5th Pennsylvanian Battalion, the British captured McHenry at Fort Washington, New York. He was later released and in March, 1778, he joined the Continental Army at Valley Forge and was quickly chosen by General George Washington to be his assistant. McHenry continued to serve with Washington until 1780 when he joined the staff of America's great French ally, the Marquis de Lafayette. In 1781, McHenry resigned his military command to enter political life. As a member of the Federalist Party, he served in the Maryland Legislature (1781-1783, 1787-1796), Continental Congress (1783-1786) and as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. In 1796, President Washington appointed McHenry as Secretary of War and he remained in this post during the presidency of John Adams. Due to political differences with Adams, McHenry resigned his cabinet position in 1800 and retired to his estate in Maryland. James McHenry served the nation and the state of Maryland as a solider [sic], statesman and physician. In his honor, a fort in the design of a five-pointed star was constructed in 1798 at the opening of the Baltimore Harbor to protect the vital port city of Baltimore.
211. SCAMDI_130106_202.JPG: Depictions of General George Washington Resigning his Commission: These monumental paintings depict the scene in the Old Senate Chamber of the Maryland State House on December 23, 1783, when General George Washington resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the victorious Continental Army. Washington's resignation was delivered at a meeting of the Continental Congress, which convened in Annapolis on November 26. The stiff formality and deference in these paintings were designed to re-emphasize the supremacy of the civilian representatives of the people over the military. Both artists, John Trumbull and Edwin White, took liberties in depicting this solemn event, particularly in their representation of those people in attendance. Most notable in both paintings is the appearance of Martha Washington, who was not in Annapolis, but was awaiting her husband's return at Mount Vernon. John Trumbull further altered the scene by reversing architectural elements in the room, in spite of the fact that he visited the space prior to completing his painting. His sketches from that visit, now in the collection of Yale University, have proven helpful to recent efforts to restore the chamber to its appearance during the late 18th century.

213. SCAMDI_110130_057.JPG: The John Shaw Flag: The John Shaw Flag is a re-creation of the flag that was made in 1783 to fly over the State House while Congress met in the Old Senate Chamber. The Shaw flag was flying when George Washington came before Congress to resign his commission as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and when Congress ratified the Treaty of Paris, officially ending the American Revolution. As America's first peacetime capital, the State House holds a special place in our nation's history, and the Shaw flag is an important symbol of that time. The original flag was commissioned by Annapolis cabinetmaker, John Shaw, in preparation for Congress' meeting in Annapolis, and the Maryland State Archives has Shaw's receipts for the order. From these records, a design was created for the flag, and replicas were first made in 1983 to commemorate the bicentennial of the Congress' meeting in Annapolis. Shortly after the celebrations were concluded, a new image of Annapolis in 1794 was discovered at the Hammond Harwood House. The watercolor, by Charles Cotton Milbourne, showed St. Anne's Church and the Maryland Inn with the State House in the background. Clearly visible on the flagpole of the State House was the John Shaw flag, with a different configuration with the one that had been designed and made in 1983. A new historically accurate Shaw flag was unveiled in the Rotunda of the State House on June 14, 2009. Annapolis Reverent Richardson Libby researched and consulted with the Archives on this project. Generous donations were received from CRW Flags and the Maryland State Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

217. SCAMDI_110130_080.JPG: The Old Senate Chamber. When the Continental Congress (Confederation Congress) convened in Annapolis from November 26, 1783 to August 13, 1784, it met here in this room which served as the home of the Maryland Senate room from 1779 until the building of the new legislative chambers in 1905. It was here that General George Washington, on December 23, 1783, came before Congress to resign his commission as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in an emotional ceremony. What's Going On Here Now? The Old Senate Chamber is undergoing extensive historical investigations that began in 2007. As part of this work, all of the plaster, which dates to the 1906 restoration of the room, has been removed and the original 18th century brick and mortar are exposed. The furnishings and portraits, including "Washington, Lafayette, and Tilghman at Yorktown" have been placed in storage for safe keeping while the investigations continue. Detailed information about the "above ground archeology" and the architectural evidence that has been uncovered is presented throughout the room. This evidence, along with archival documentation, will be used to determine the most accurate design for restoring the Old Senate Chamber to its appearance during the lifetime of George Washington. The Old Senate Chamber: Late 19th Century: The 1876-1877 renovations removed nearly all of the eighteenth century elements from the Senate Chamber. The visitor's gallery, president's dais, and virtually all paint, plaster, and decorative cornices were removed from the walls and replaced with new paint and textiles. Only the niche behind the president's dais remained, and a plaster wall blocked it from view. Public outcry over the appearance of the room began almost as soon as the work finished. Local newspapers commented on the "desecration" of a hallowed space that had been graced by George Washington and Congress. By 1894, committees had formed to investigate the feasibility of returning the room to its original eighteenth-century appearance. The Old Senate Chamber: Early 20th Century: After completing the construction of the 1902-1905 annex, Baltimore architects Francis Baldwin and Joseph Pennington oversaw renovations in the Old Senate Chamber to return the room to a colonial appearance. This work was completed in 1906 and included the installation of a new visitor's gallery, fireplace, dais and flooring, a recreated false door, and ornamental plasterwork. In an effort to memorialize George Washington's resignation in this space, the portrait of Washington, Lafayette and Tilghman and framed transcriptions of speeches given by Washington and Thomas Mifflin were on display, and the room was furnished with an electric array of furnishings and relics associated, often mistakenly, with the first president

In commemorating the centennial of that great struggle between the citizens of the temporarily divided nation in the 1860's, the Maryland Civil War Centennial Commission did not attempt to decide who was right and who was wrong, or to make decisions on other controversial issues. On the contrary, its objective was solely to commemorate important events of the war within the state and to collect and preserve documents and information associated with her involvement. By so doing, it seeks to pay tribute to those who fought and died, as well as to the citizens who, during the Civil War, tried to do their duty as they saw it. Erected and dedicated October 5, 1964

223. SCAMDI_110130_226.JPG: Winfield Scott Schley Port Hudson 1863 Chincha Island 1865 Korea 1871 Greeley Relief Expe. 1884 Valparaiso 1891 Santiago 1898 Erected by the State of Maryland -- Winfield Scott Schley From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Winfield Scott Schley (9 October 1839 - 2 October 1911) was a rear admiral in the United States Navy and the hero of the Battle of Santiago Bay during the Spanish-American War. Civil War: Born at "Richfields" (his father's farm), near Frederick, Maryland, Schley graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1860, and went as midshipman on board the frigate Niagara to China and Japan. On his return in 1861, the American Civil War was in progress. He was made master, and was assigned to the Potomac of the Western Gulf Squadron until 1862. He then served on the sidewheel gunboat Winona of that Squadron, and later on the sloops Monongahela and Richmond, and participated in all the engagements that led to the capture of Port Hudson, Louisiana, in 1863, having been promoted to lieutenant on 16 July 1862. Chincha Island War and San Salvador Revolution He was ordered from the waters of the South in 1864 to the Pacific Squadron, where he served on the Wateree as executive officer until 1866. He suppressed an insurrection of Chinese workers on the Chincha Islands in 1865, and later in the same year landed at La Union, San Salvador, to protect American interests during a revolution. He was promoted lieutenant-commander in 1866. Korean Expedition: From 1866 to 1869, he was an instructor in the United States Naval Academy. He was then assigned to the Asiatic Station, and served there on the screw sloop Benicia until 1872 and was adjutant of the land forces during the attack by Rear Admiral John Rodgers's expedition on the Korean forts on Ganghwa Island on 10 June and 11 June 1871. He then participated in the following Battle of Gangwha which caused the destruction of the Korean fortifications. Between conflicts, 1870s-1890s From 1872 to 1875, he was head of the department of modern languages in the Naval Academy. He was promoted commander in June 1874. After serving in Europe and on the west coast of Africa, he commanded Essex from 1876 to 1879, most of the time in the South Atlantic on the Brazil Station. During the cruise he sailed Essex to the vicinity of the South Shetland Islands in search of a missing sealer, and rescued a shipwrecked crew on the islands of Tristan da Cunha. From 1879 until October 1883, he was inspector of the Second Lighthouse District. After re-supply and relief missions repeatedly failed to reach Lieutenant Adolphus Greely's Lady Franklin Bay Expedition in the Arctic, Schley was appointed in February 1884 to command the next relief expedition. On 22 June, near Cape Sabine in Grinnell Land, Schley rescued Greely and six (of his twenty-four) companions, after passing through 1400 miles of ice during the voyage. Schley was commissioned chief of the bureau of equipment and recruiting at the United States Department of the Navy in 1885, and promoted captain in March 1888. He commanded Baltimore (C-3) in Rear Admiral George Brown's squadron off the coast of Chile in 1891. Going to the port of Valparaiso, Chile, when a number of American sailors there were stoned by a mob. In August 1891, the Baltimore, still under his command was detailed to convey the remains of John Ericsson to Sweden. Early in 1892 he was again transferred to the Lighthouse Bureau, and until February 1895 was inspector of the Third Lighthouse District. In 1895, he was placed in command of the New York. From 1897 to 1898, he was a member (and chairman) of the Lighthouse Board. Spanish War: Schley was commissioned commodore on 6 February 1898, and on 24 March, although lowest on the list of commodores, he was put in command of the Flying Squadron, with Brooklyn (CA-3) as his flagship, for service in the Spanish-American War. On 18 May 1898, Schley's Flying Squadron was sent by Acting Rear Admiral William T. Sampson to Cienfuegos to pursue the Spanish Squadron under the command of Admiral Pascual Cervera y Topete. When Sampson received news that Cervera was in Santiago de Cuba, not Cienfuegos, he initially vacillated, at first informing Schley of the rumor, yet requesting him to stay at Cienfuegos, then later changing his orders to have Schley investigate the situation at Santiago. Although Schley was subordinate to Sampson, he was accustomed to exercising independent command of his ship. Schley decided to stay at Cienfuegos, feeling that all signs indicated that Cervera was there in the harbor. After hearing from Cuban insurgents that Cervera was definitely not at Cienfuegos, Schley decided to obey Sampson's orders three days after receiving them and go to Santiago. When the crew of three American cruisers he encountered denied knowledge of Cervera's whereabouts, Schley decided to return to Key West, Florida, to get coal for his ship. The Navy Department sent a despatch to Schley asking him to stay at Santiago, but he replied that he was unable to obey these orders. Inexplicably, Schley decided mid-voyage to return to Santiago on 28 May, where the following day it was confirmed that the Spanish Squadron was there. Sampson arrived on 1 June and assumed command. The American ships formed a blockade across the harbor to trap the Spanish ships. On 3 July, while Sampson was en route to meet General Shafter onshore, Cervera attempted to squeeze his squadron through the blockade. Schley had assumed control in Sampson's absence. When Maria Teresa of the Spanish Squadron tried to ram Brooklyn, Schley's flagship, he ordered the ship to steer away from Maria Teresa, causing a near collision with Texas. This gave the Spanish ships added time to escape, but the American fleet, including Brooklyn, pursued the Spanish Squadron and succeeded in destroying it completely. When the victory message from Sampson was reported, it contained no reference to any officer other than himself, even though he was not involved in the actual fighting. Sampson was loath to praise Schley's role in the fighting, a fact which derived from professional jealousy, as was evidenced later by Sampson's own conduct at the subsequent court of inquiry. Sampson was of the opinion that had it not for the Battle of Santiago de Cuba, Schley would have been court-martialed. The public, however, regarded Schley as the hero not only of the battle, but also of the war, while Sampson was seen (accurately) as indecorous for not acknowledging Schley's role. In August 1898, Schley was raised to the rank of rear admiral. After Cuba: On 14 April 1899, Schley was commissioned rear admiral, ranking as major general. In November 1899, he was put in command of the South Atlantic Squadron, and, on 9 October 1901, he retired from active service upon reaching the age limit. Controversy: A controversy arose between partisans of Schley and those of Sampson over their respective claims to the credit of the victory over Cervera's fleet during the recent war. Of that discussion neither officer personally took public notice until after the appearance of a work by Edgar Stanton Maclay entitled History of the United States Navy. In that book, the author referred to Commodore Schley as a "caitiff, poltroon and coward." The proofs of the book had been read and approved by various naval officers, among them Rear Admiral Sampson. At Schley's request, because of the charges made against him in the book, a court of inquiry was opened on September 12, 1901, composed of Admiral George Dewey, Rear Admiral Andrew E. K. Benham and Rear Admiral Francis Munroe Ramsay, which investigated Schley's conduct before and during the Battle of Santiago. On 13 December 1901, the court reported its proceedings and the testimony taken, with a full and detailed statement of all the pertinent facts which it deemed to be established, together with its opinion and recommendations. Various officers gave conflicting testimony as to Schley's conduct, with one, Captain Templin Potts, directly accusing Schley of cowardice. The majority report of the court found that Commodore Schley failed to proceed to Santiago with due despatch, that the squadron should not have been delayed by the Eagle, that he should not have turned westward, that he should have obeyed the Navy Department's order of May 25, 1898, that he did not do his utmost to capture the Colon, that the turn of the Brooklyn caused the Texas to stop, for carelessness in endangering Texas, for blanketing the fire of other American vessels, that he did injustice to lieutenant-commander Hodgson (Navigation officer of the Brooklyn at the time of the incident), that his conduct in the Santiago campaign was characterized by vacillation, dilatoriness, and "lack of enterprise," and that his coal reports were inaccurate and misleading. Admiral Dewey, however, presented a minority report, in which he praised Schley for promptness and efficient service, and gave him the credit for the destruction of Cervera's fleet. The court recommended that no action be taken in view of the length of time which had elapsed. Rear Admiral Schley filed a protest against the court's findings, which, however, were approved by the Secretary of the Navy Long, who (expectedly) supported Sampson on grounds of rank and seniority. Nonetheless, the public press, and particularly the Hearst newspapers, saw the outcome as vindicating Schley, whose status as a war hero was enhanced by the exposure. In January 1902, Rear Admiral Schley appealed from the verdict to President Theodore Roosevelt, who, however, confirmed Secretary Long's approval. Schley wrote, with James Russell Soley, The Rescue of Greely (New York, 1885). He also wrote and published his autobiography, Forty-five Years under the Flag (New York, 1904). For the fullest treatment of the battle of Santiago, see George Edward Graham's Schley and Santiago: an Historical Account of the Blockade and Final Destruction of the Spanish Fleet Under Command of Admiral Pasquale Cervera, July 3, 1898 (W. B. Conkey, 1902). Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley died on October 2, 1911, nine years after Rear Admiral Sampson, who barely survived his retirement in 1902. Rear Admiral Schley was buried with all military honors at Arlington National Cemetery, where he also has a street named for him. There is a memorial to Schley in the lobby of the Maryland state house, and a bust of him by Ernest Keyser in Annapolis.

Comment from a sign: This painting of "Washington Resigning" was made by Edwin White in 1859. However, it is not completely accurate in that it shows a number of people who were not present at the ceremony or even in Annapolis at the time, including Mrs Washington and her niece. In fact, women were not allowed in the Senate Chamber and those who wanted to watch had to do so from the Ladies Balcony at the back of the room. Below the Ladies Balcony is a gallery where gentlemen could observe the proceedings.
229. SCAMDI_031102_022.JPG: The Planting of the Colony of Maryland Francis Blackwell Mayer (1827-1899) Oil on canvas, 1893 This painting commemorates the landing of the first settlers in the colony of Maryland on March 25, 1634 on St Clement's Island in what is now St Mary's County. Led by Leonard Calvert, first proprietary governor, the group departed from Cowes, England, in November 1633 aboard two ships, the Ark and the Dove. In this scene, the settlers, in thanksgiving for their safe arrival, prepare to erect a rough-hewn cross, symbolizing the religious tolerance upon which the colony was founded. The events of this historic day are commemorated annually on March 25, "Maryland Day." In creating this image, the artist Frank B Mayer relied upon the first person account of Father Andrew White, a Jesuit priest who was among the original settlers. Father White is depicted on the far left of the image, following the procession of cross-bearers. Governor Leonard Calvert is depicted at the center of the painting, with a sword at his side.
230. SCAMDI_031102_035.JPG: The Burning of the Peggy Stewart Francis Blackwell Mayer (1827-1899) Oil on canvas, 1896 In October, 1774, Annapolis experienced its own "tea party," reminiscent of the uprising the occurred the year before in Boston Harbor. When the brigantine Peggy Stewart arrived at the port of Annapolis on Friday, October 14, laden with a cargo of tea, its contents were subject to a highly controversial tax imposed by Britain on goods imported to America. When the owner of the Peggy Stewart, Anthony Stewart, paid the "tea tax," he violated the non-importation resolution implemented by the colonists in protest. By Wednesday, October 19, a crowd had gathered in Annapolis threatening Stewart's life if he did not destroy the ship and its cargo. Unwilling to accept Stewart's offer to destroy the tea, the crowd demanded that the vessel be burned. Fearing the mob might attack his home where his wife lay ill, Stewart gave in to their demands. Artist Frank B Mayer depicts the scene when Stewart, escorted aboard the Peggy Stewart by members of the crowd, was forced to set alight his own ship and its cargo of tea.
231. SCAMDI_031102_049.JPG: Two signs: The Old Senate Chamber From November 26, 1783 to August 13, 1784, Annapolis was the capital of the United States, and the Continental Congress met in this room. On December 23, 1783, George Washington came before Congress to resign his commission as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army. With this act, he established the principle of the sovereignty of the elected government over the military. Two weeks later, on January 14, 1784, Congress ratified the Treaty of Paris, thus officially ending the Revolutionary War. Edwin White's painting of "Washington Resigning" can be seen here in the State House on the landing of the main staircase. [See separately.] ... This historic chamber is now restored to its appearance in 1783. The mannequin of George Washington, which stands on the exact spot where he delivered his resignation speech, was installed in 1983 as a gift from a number of patriotic organizations. The president's desk and chair were made for the chamber by the Annapolis cabinetmaker, John Shaw, in 1797. Two other desks and two chairs are also original John Shaw pieces. The rest of the chairs and desks were made by Enrico Liberti in 1941 to replicate the Shaw furniture. The colors of the room, including the Prussian blue, were discovered during paint analysis conducted in 1998 and are believed to be the original colors. ... The Maryland State House was built between 1772-1779 and is the oldest state house still in continuous legislative use in the United States. The Old Senate Chamber Where Washington Resigned His Commission In 1783, when George Washington came to Annapolis to resign his commission as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, he appeared before a Continental Congress made up of 21 or 22 men, representing nine of the 13 states. It is known from descriptions by people who were present that the room was crowded with many others who were watching, including members of the Governor's Council, the Maryland General Assembly, and Annapolis city officials. There were also some of Washington's aides and guests, as well as Sir Robert Eden, the last colonial governor of Maryland, and Henry Hartford, the former proprietor of Maryland. ... The ceremony began at noon on December 23 and was, according to the contemporary accounts, a "solemn and affecting occasion." After addressing Congress, Washington "...bid every member [of Congress] farewell and rode off from the door [of the State House], intent upon eating his Christmas dinner at home."
232. SCAMDI_031102_053.JPG: From a sign: The portrait over the fireplace is the famous "Annapolis Portrait" by Charles Wilson Peale of "Washington, Lafayette, and Tilghman" at Yorktown. It was painted by Peale in 1784 at the request of the General Assembly and was installed in the State House in 1785. ... The two swords in the case to the left of the fireplace belonged to Col Tench Tilghman, who is wearing one of them in the painting of "Washington, Lafayette, and Tilghman at Yorktown." He is also holding a copy of the Articles of Capitulation which he carried from Yorktown to the Continental Congress, then meeting in Philadelphia.
233. SCAMDI_031102_084.JPG: The boat, which stands in the lobby, has this sign: The Maryland Federalist A Flagship for Maryland Original: 1788 Recreated: 1988 The Maryland Federalist was built in 1988 for Maryland's commemoration of the bicentennial of the US Constitution. She is a full-sized replica of the 15-foot ship, Federalist, that was built in 1788 by the merchants of Baltimore to celebrate Maryland's ratification of the Constitution on April 18, 1788. Three days later, Baltimore held a huge parade and picnic in honor of the ratification, and the tiny ship, Federalist, was the centerpiece of the event. Symbolizing the Ship of State and rigged with seven sails in honor of Maryland's place as the seventh state to ratify, the Federalist was pulled through the streets of Baltimore on a horse-drawn cart. She was then sailed by Captain Joshua Barney to Mt Vernon and presented as a gift to George Washington from the grateful citizens of Baltimore. Sadly, the little ship sank six weeks later in a hurricane. The Maryland Federalist was built with private funds and given to the state in 1988. It is now part of the Maryland State Archives' education outreach program.
234. SCAMDI_031102_103.JPG: George Washington's Uniform Believing that "nothing adds more to the Appearance of the man, than dress," George Washington took pains to clothe himself in a fashion appropriate to his rank. According to family tradition, Washington wore the original of this uniform, now in the Smithsonian, when he resigned his commission as Commander-in-Chief. The replica, seen here near where Washington stood [ note that the other sign said this was the exact spot ], is closely patterned after the original, and was donated to the State of Maryland by the Maryland Societies of Senates Past. It was produced by Mr J Luther Sowers of the Anvil Arms, Salisbury, North Carolina under the supervision of Mr Donald E Kloster, Associate Curator of Military History at the Smithsonian. Washington's head is modeled on the life bust by Jean-Antoine Houdon made in 1785, and is a gift of The Maryland Colonial Society. The epaulets and sword, given by the Maryland Society of Senates Past and Daughters of Colonial Wars, duplicate those Washington wears in the Charles Wilson Peale portrait "Washington, Lafayette and Tilghman at Yorktown" which hangs over the Senate Chamber fireplace... Washington was bareheaded during the ceremonies. Congressmen kept their hats on, the symbolize the supremacy of civil over military authority, but when "the General rose and bowed," they responded by momentarily removing their hats in a formal gesture of respect. The uniform is on a mannequin specially constructed by Susan Wallace of the Smithsonian, who also painted the head. ...
