Former NHLs in Maryland

There are two former NHLs. One building in Maryland was demolished and de-designated, and there is a ship that was moved in and then out of the state: the nuclear-powered commercial vessel NS Savannah.

	Landmark name	Image	Date designated	Locality	County	Description
1	Resurrection Manor		17 February 2006 (withdrawn)		St. Mary's	Demolished and replaced by a modern home, so de-designated.[10]
2	NS Savannah		17 July 1991[11]	Patriot's Point Charleston (formerly)	Charleston (formerly)	Nuclear-powered merchant cargo and passenger vessel. It was at Patriot's point from 1982[citation needed] until 1994,[citation needed] when it was removed to Baltimore, MD.[citation needed] So it was temporarily a NHL in MD. It is now in Virginia.[citation needed]
