Bonus Podcast: Chesapeake Bound with Thomas Guay

Recorded at Bread and Butter Kitchen in Eastport, this Eye On Annapolis bonus episode sits down with Thomas Guay—author, historian, tour guide, and musician—for a deep dive into his new historical novel, Chesapeake Bound. Guay explains how the story follows an Irish naval surgeon and musician who is pushed out of London by a false accusation, then signs on for a hard Atlantic crossing that becomes as much nautical fiction as it is colonial-era history. The conversation digs into the realities of the 1760s—indentured servitude, medicine that was more "heroic" in name than results, and the tension building toward revolution, including Annapolis' furious response to the Stamp Act. Guay also teases where the series goes next, with an eye toward the Battle of Long Island and the Maryland 400. He'll be speaking this Thursday at the Annapolis Maritime Museum as part of its lecture series, with books available at local shops (and online). Have a listen!
