Village’s history changed forever on June 20, 1631

IT WAS a warm peaceful summer’s night on June 20, 1631, as the inhabitants of Baltimore harbour village slept soundly in their beds.

It was two hours before dawn. Some would be waking soon to mend nets, fix ropes and prepare their boats for another day on the ocean.

Outside, light from a crescent moon danced on Roaringwater Bay.
