Washington depended on the Maryland Line throughout the war, and the soldiers’ discipline and bravery earned Maryland its nickname. Annapolis Naval Academy represented by the trident, torches and anchor; other state symbols leaves based on the Wye Oak, a 400 plus-year-old white oak tree; and the Black-Eyed Susan, and Maryland Blue Crab’s scientific name (Callinectes sapidus Rathbun) translates to “beautiful swimmer that is savory” and is Maryland’s official State Crustacean.
