ambitious St. Marys Gunboat Projects. The site provides links to
practical tourist information on local attractions, travel directions,

St. Marys, by nature of her geography, played a key role in our
young nation's history. As the southernmost "Patriot controlled"
border she saw action during the American Revolution. After the
war, Florida reverted to Spanish control. An uneasy peace followed
on the European continent.
