Established in 1680 near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, Norfolk is a maritime jewel of the East Coast. During the American Revolution, British ships shelled the city on New Year’s Day 1776. The first battle of the ironclads–Monitor versus Merrimack–took place off Norfolk’s shore in 1862. Walter P. Chrysler moved his art collection to the city in 1971 and catapulted the former Norfolk Museum of Arts and Sciences into the renowned Chrysler Museum. Author, historian and Norfolk native Sarah Downing offers a daily look at the fascinating and sometimes offbeat history of the city’s storied past. Navigate the waters of history one day or month at a time with this celebration of Norfolk’s heritage.
