About
Living Classrooms
The Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park is Living Classrooms' headquarters and national heritage site, celebrating the contributions of African-Americans in the development of Baltimore's maritime industry, including the Chesapeake Marine Railway and Dry Dock Company, the nation's first African-American owned and operated shipyard established in 1868. The site honors the legacy of shipbuilding and Baltimore's working waterfront as it relates to African American Maritime and Cultural History, Isaac Myers and his partners, and Frederick Douglass while preserving on of the city's oldest industrial waterfront buildings, the Sugar/Coffee House.
