A few weeks ago I posted about President Franklin D. Roosevelt 1938 visit to the Maryland Eastern Shore and the memorial of his visit and speech in Denton.

This isn’t the only memorial to President Roosevelt on the the Delmarva Peninsula. Located at Long Wharf Park in Cambridge, MD is smokestack for the Presidential Yacht USS Potomac that was converted to an elevator to allow the president to move between the upper and lower decks.

This is not the only Memorial at Long Wharf Park. There is also a World War memorial and a monument dedicated to five WWI heroes who won the Distinguished Service Cross. The names of Lt. Henry Barber Jr., Pvt. Harry Insley, Pvt. James Miller, Sgt. Carl Horseman, and Cpl. Harford Smith are engraved in the dark stone.
