St. Michaels is also known as “The Town that Fooled the British” During the early morning hours of August 10th, 1813, British barges off the coast of St. Michaels planned an attack on the town and a harbor fort. The people of St. Michaels got word of the impending attack and hoisted lanterns high up onto the masts of their sailboats and into the tops of trees. The high lights caused the attacking British to overshoot the town. Visit Chesapeake Bay Maritime to learn all about what this area was and has become.
