USNA Bridge and Jonas Green


The U.S. Naval Academy Bridge crosses the Severn River, in Annapolis.  A segment of MD Route 450, it provides an alternate entrance to the Naval Academy.

I took this picture on the grounds of Jonas Green Park.  The park is open from dawn to dusk, except for the fishing pier, which is open 24 hours a day.  Now who was Jonas Green?  He was an 18th century printer and editor, who, in 1738 moved to Annapolis and was appointed the colony's public printer.  Records of the Tuesday Club of Annapolis, of which he was a member, referred to him as,  “Jonas Green, P.P.P.P.P,” for “Poet, Printer, Punster, Purveyor and Punchmaker general.”
