  • Poe's Baltimore
    http://knowingpoe.thinkport.org/ Poe’s Baltimore Content Overview This is an outline of the information found on each location on the interactive map. As students explore the map online, you will note the following color coding system: ü Modern Sites are yellow ü Sites Then and Now are green ü Poe-era sites are red In addition, all locations include images. Modern Sites Modern Inner Harbor (Harborplace) NOW: Harborplace is a fairly recent addition to Baltimore’s landscape. Completed in 1980, Harborplace and its close relatives, the Maryland Science Center and the National Aquarium at Baltimore, have attracted millions of visitors to the city each year. If you were wondering why Harborplace appears to be out in the harbor on the 1838 map…it’s because it was! As late as 1950, the Inner Harbor was just that – the innermost dock in Baltimore Harbor for passenger, freight, and government ships. But the docks were old and rotting, so around 1970 the city tore them down. The plans for developing the shopping pavilions at Harborplace called for more space. The city did just that—using concrete and pylons to add almost 100 feet of shoreline where the rotting docks had been. The result was the Inner Harbor area – complete with shops and large pathways – that you can walk around today. THEN: In Poe’s day, the Inner Harbor area was a thriving seaport. Ships were being built in nearby Fells Point. A new, lively form of transportation— called a “steamer” (a steam-powered boat)—was becoming a more and more common sight.

    Postseason Recaps, Line Scores, Stats & Records World Champions 1955 World Champions For the Brooklyn Dodgers, the 1955 World Series was not just a chance to win a championship, but an opportunity to avenge five previous World Series failures at the hands of their chief rivals, the New York Yankees. Even with their ace Don Newcombe on the mound, the Dodgers seemed to be doomed from the start, as three Yankee home runs set back Newcombe and the rest of the team in their opening 6-5 loss. Game 2 had the same result, as New York's southpaw Tommy Byrne held Brooklyn to five hits in a 4-2 victory. With the Series heading back to Brooklyn, Johnny Podres was given the start for Game 3. The Dodger lefty stymied the Yankees' offense over the first seven innings by allowing one run on four hits en route to an 8-3 victory. Podres gave the Dodger faithful a hint as to what lay ahead in the series with his complete-game, six-strikeout performance. Game 4 at Ebbets Field turned out to be an all-out slugfest. After falling behind early, 3-1, the Dodgers used the long ball to knot up the series. Future Hall of Famers Roy Campanella and Duke Snider each homered and Gil Hodges collected three of the club’s 14 hits, including a home run in the 8-5 triumph. Snider's third and fourth home runs of the Series provided the support needed for rookie Roger Craig and the Dodgers took Game 5 by a score of 5-3.
