SUMMARY:A Date With History: When Claiborne Bridged the Chesapeake with Marty Bollinger
DESCRIPTION:“When Claiborne Bridged the Chesapeake”\nwith Marty Bollinger\nTuesday\, January 20 at 1:00pm at the Talbot County Free Library\n\n\nThis is the story of Claiborne’s long-lost role over four decades as the major transportation hub across the Chesapeake\, connecting Western and Eastern Shores\, initially via steamer and railroad\, and later by car ferry. Marty’s research provides a window into the broader history of the Maryland region during\n\n\nperiods of tumult and change\, from the Civil War to the Cold War. It illuminates the impact of the era of steam\, the influence of railroads\, the power of monopolies\, the impact of politics\, and the consequences of technical disruptions — all on how people and products were conveyed across the Chesapeake Bay. The broader story\,\n\n\ntold through the experiences of the small village of Claiborne\, encompasses failure alongside perseverance and success. The legacy of those days remains visible today\, and Claiborne itself bears witness to it. Marty Bollinger is a retired management consultant working in aerospace\, defense and maritime industries. He has written extensively on the naval and maritime history over the past two decades. “When Claiborne Bridged the Chesapeake: The Rise and of the Ferry Era” (2025 by Maryland Center for History and Culture) is his fourth book in this field. He serves on the board of directors of the Talbot Historical Society and is a Trustee of the Naval Institute Foundation. He lives in Claiborne.\nThis is presented by the Talbot Historical Society in partnership\n\n\nwith the Talbot County Free Library and will take place at the\n\n\nlibrary located at 100 W. Dover St.\, Easton\, MD 21601.\n\n\nThe lecture will be presented on January 20\, 2026 at 1:00pm at the Talbot County Free Library.\nThe lecture is free to the public\, but reservations are requested.\n\n\nIf you have any questions or would like to make a reservation:\n\n\nLeave a message at 410-822-0773 or email kaylaw@talbothistory.org\n\n\nTalbot Historical Society office/research/exhibit hours are:\n\n\nWednesday through Saturday 10am-3pm
