Shipping from the State of Alaska to Maryland
On January 3, 1959, Alaska became the 49th state of the United States. Alaska is the largest U.S. state by area and the seventh largest sub national division in the world. Conversely, it is the 3rd least populous and the most sparsely populated of the 50 United States.
It is located northwest extremity of the United States West Coast, just across the Bering Strait from Asia. The Canadian province of British Columbia and the territory of Yukon border the state to the east and southeast. Its most extreme western part is Attu Island, and it has a maritime border with Russia (Chukotka Autonomous Okrug) to the west across the Bering Strait. To the north are the Chukchi and Beaufort seas—southern parts of the Arctic Ocean. The Pacific Ocean lies to the south and southwest. It is technically part of the continental U.S., but is sometimes not included in colloquial use; Alaska is not part of the contiguous U.S., often called “the Lower 48”. The capital city, Juneau, is situated on the mainland of the North American continent but is not connected by road to the rest of the North American highway system. Anchorage is the largest city by population.
Alaska is nicknamed The Last Frontier. It is also well-known as the “Land of the Midnight Sun”. The state tree is the Sitka Spruce, the state bird is the Willow Ptarmigan and the state flower is the Forget-me-not. The state motto is “North to the Future”.

Maryland located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the eastern coast of the United States, bordering Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia to its south and west; Pennsylvania to its north; and Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean to its east. The largest and commercially important city is Baltimore, and Annapolis is the capital. The state takes occasional nicknames: Old Line State, the Free State, and the Chesapeake Bay State. Maryland was named after the English Queen Henrietta Maria, known in England as Queen Mary.
Maryland gained its statehood on April 28, 1788. The state motto is-Fatti Maschii Parole Femine (“Strong Deeds, Gentle Words”).
Don’t think of its small size only! The small area, compared to other states belies the great variation of its landscapes and nature. Maryland is the leading producer of blue crabs and is renowned for its crab cakes.
