Voyage of the Deutschland: Commemorating the centennial of the mysterious arrival of the Deutschland submarine to Baltimore's harbor and the United States' involvement in World War I, The Maryland Historical Society is launching a new exhibition, Voyage of the Deutschland, which opens on Thursday, September 29, 2016. Objects include a model of the Deutschland submarine measuring five and a half feet long, which is said to be the most authentic replica in existence. An opening reception, including a World War I panel discussion featuring historian Dr. Gary Weir and U.S. Naval Academy Professor Nicholas Lambert, and an Oktoberfest celebration will take place on September 29 beginning at 6pm. The exhibit is proudly sponsored by The German Society of Maryland and the Maryland Historical Society Maritime Committee. Click here for more information.
