Watermark<\/a> is celebrating the legacy of Harbor Queen, one of Annapolis\u2019 most recognizable vessels, with the introduction of \u201cQueenie,\u201d a new commemorative mascot inspired by the longtime harbor tour boat.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Harbor Queen has been a familiar presence in Annapolis Harbor since the 1970s, carrying generations of residents, students, families, and visitors on the water. Over the past five decades, the vessel has been part of school field trips, summer camps, pizza parties, proms, celebrations, and other Annapolis waterfront memories.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/a>A New Mascot for an Annapolis Icon<\/p>\n

Queenie was created to honor Harbor Queen\u2019s history while adding a new interactive element for passengers, families, and visitors at City Dock.<\/p>\n

Watermark is inviting people to take photos with Queenie, share them on social media, and tag @watermarkjourney with #HarborQueen for a chance to win four tickets aboard Harbor Queen, along with four drink tickets and four popcorn vouchers.<\/p>\n

Watermark will select one winner each Friday. Participants are encouraged to be creative with their photos and captions while keeping submissions fun and respectful.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/a>Celebrating the Past and Future of City Dock<\/p>\n

\u201cAnnapolis City Dock is seeing a lot of changes,\u201d Watermark owner and president Jake Iversen reflected, \u201cWe just want to celebrate the long-storied history Harbor Queen holds as we look towards the future memories she will be a part of in this changing landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harbor Queen has long been one of the most visible symbols of the Annapolis waterfront, offering narrated cruises and serving as a gateway to the Chesapeake Bay for visitors and locals alike.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/a>A Part of Annapolis for Generations<\/p>\n

Watermark said the new mascot is intended to reflect the spirit of the vessel and the memories it has helped create.<\/p>\n

Watermark\u2019s Chief Operating Officer, Ginny Mininger added, \u201cWatermark\u2019s Harbor Queen is more than a boat, she\u2019s part of the fabric of Annapolis. For generations, she has represented the Chesapeake\u2019s proud maritime tradition. From summer jobs to fourth-grade field trips, Harbor Queen has been a part of our community for as long as we can remember. We take so much pride in sharing the history, culture, and beauty of the Chesapeake region with visitors from around the world while having a whole lot of fun along the way. We wanted to bring that spirit of life in a new and fun way and thus Queenie was born! \u201d<\/p>\n

The introduction of Queenie adds a new piece to Harbor Queen\u2019s story as Annapolis City Dock continues to change and Watermark looks to carry the vessel\u2019s role in the community into the next generation.<\/p>\n
