Potomac River Cleanup Event at Mallows Bay

The “Ghost Fleet” of Mallows Bay is the largest collection of sunken
vessels in the Western Hemisphere. Constructed during World War I,
the remains of over 100 wooden vessels rest in the shallow bay waters
and along its shoreline marking one of the most curious yet important
periods in the Nation’s maritime history.
Bring a canoe, kayak or walk along the shore. Join local historians and
archaeologists who will share the stories of Mallows as part of the
cleanup activities
