PROJECT DESCRIPTION Demand for freight delivery in Maryland is ex- pected to double by 2035. Due to the Port of Bal more’s prominent northeast loca on and the upcoming comple on of the Panama Ca- nal Expansion, freight traffi c volume is poised to drama cally increase in the region. The ability to safely and effi ciently move goods around the Port of Bal more is vital for na onal economic com- pe veness, as well as that of the region and the City of Bal more. To this end, the Bal more City Department of Transporta on (BCDOT), in partnership with the Secretary’s Offi ce of the Maryland Department of Transporta on (MDOT) and the Maryland Port Ad- ministra on (MPA) have made over $30 million in infrastructure investments at the Port of Bal more and the surrounding area.

  • How Baltimore Became the New York of the South: European Immigration Between 1867-1914 and the Development of Ethnic Neighborhoods Around the Port of Baltimore
    HOW BALTIMORE BECAME THE NEW YORK OF THE SOUTH: EUROPEAN IMMIGRATION BETWEEN 1867-1914 AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ETHNIC NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND THE PORT OF BALTIMORE A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Ron Cassie Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 15, 2016 HOW BALTIMORE BECAME THE NEW YORK OF THE SOUTH: EUROPEAN IMMIGRATION BETWEEN 1867-1914 AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ETHNIC NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND THE PORT OF BALTIMORE Ron Cassie, MA Mentor: Charles Edward Yonkers, JD ABSTRACT Located 40 miles south of the Mason-Dixon Line, Baltimore was the fourth – largest city in the U.S. and the largest in the South before the Civil War, serving as the economic hub of the Mid-Atlantic region. Although Baltimore was always home to a significant free black population, the city was centered in a largely slave-holding state. Although Maryland choose neither Union or Confederate sides during the Civil War before President Abraham Lincoln sent federal troops into Baltimore, the city’s port business in the middle of the 19th century focused on the rural exports of tobacco, cotton, grain, and flour; ship building; and the importation of sugar. Politically, economically, and culturally, Maryland was, at the time, a Southern state full of plantations from the Eastern Shore across the state’s central area around Baltimore. The city, however, was more a blend of white Southern and white Northern influences, a marginalized African-American citizenry, a significant group of German immigrants, and more recent Irish arrivals at the start of the Civil War.

  • Port of Baltimore Sets Another Record for Container Moves with 6000 from Single Ship
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Richard Scher ([email protected]) February 12, 2021 Jillian Ball ([email protected]) MDOT MPA 410-446-1204 PORT OF BALTIMORE SETS ANOTHER RECORD FOR CONTAINER MOVES WITH 6,000 FROM SINGLE SHIP Volume From Maersk Edinburgh Continues Trends Aided by E-Commerce (BALTIMORE, MD) – The Helen Delich Bentley Port of Baltimore has set another record at the Seagirt Marine Terminal this week, with 6,000 container moves conducted by longshore workers from the Maersk Edinburgh – the most ever from a single ship in the 315-year history of the Port. Maersk Edinburgh arrived at the Port on Monday, February 8, and left early Thursday, February 11. The final container move was completed at 9:40 p.m. Wednesday. Container moves are the number of times an imported container is unloaded from a ship, as well as when an export or empty container is loaded onto a ship. The new record surpasses a previous high mark of 5,536 moves, also from the Maersk Edinburgh and achieved in August 2020. “This new record for container moves represents the hard work and dedication of our workers at the Port of Baltimore, and again shows how Maryland is rebounding from the economic impacts of COVID-19,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “Consumer demand and buying confidence is on the upswing, and the industry knows the Port of Baltimore has the team in place to deliver those goods to market.” The new record is part of a notable rebound in container volumes at the Port from low points as the COVID-19 emergency affected economic markets worldwide.

    U.S. Coast Guard Historian’s Office Preserving Our History For Future Generations Historic Light Station Information MARYLAND BALTIMORE LIGHT Location: South entrance to Baltimore Channel, Chesapeake Bay, off the mouth of the Magothy River Date Built: Commissioned 1908 Type of Structure: Caisson with octagonal brick dwelling / light tower Height: 52 feet above mean high water Characteristics: Flashing white with one red sector Foghorn: Yes (initially bell, replaced with a horn by 1923) Builder: William H. Flaherty / U. S. Fidelity and Guarantee Co. Appropriation: $120,000 + Range: white – 7 miles, red – 5 miles Status: Standing and Active Historical Information: This is one of the last lighthouses built on the Chesapeake Bay. The fact that it was built at all is a testimony to the importance of Baltimore as a commercial port. The original appropriation request to Congress for a light at this location was made in 1890 and $60,000 was approved four years later. However, bottom tests of proposed sites showed a 55 foot layer of semi-fluid mud before a sand bottom was hit. This extreme engineering challenge made construction of a light within the proposed cost impossible. An additional $60,000 was requested and finally appropriated in 1902. Even then, the project had to be re-bid because no contractor came forth within the allotted budget. Finally, the contract was awarded to William H. Flaherty (who had built the Solomon’s Lump and Smith Point lights). The materials were gathered and partially assembled at Lazaretto Point Depot, then towed to the site and lowered to the bottom in September 1902.

  • Ancestral Colonial Families
    Ancestral Colonial Families GENEALOGY of THE WELSH AND HYATT FAMILIES OF MARYLAND AND THEIR KIN; Giving The Colonial Generations of The Howard, Hammond, Maccubbin, Griffith, Greenberry, Dorsey, Van Sweringen, Baldwin, Gaither, Warfield and Duvall Families. By LUTHER W. WELSH, A. M., M. D., Kansas City, Mo. Lambert Moon Printing Co. Independence, Mo. 1928 PREFACE. The writing of this ibook has been a labor of love to its author. The families given, with probably one exception, are his own ancestral families, and ,as such he has studied them with a regard for accuracy not always found in works of unrelated professionals. It is not pos­ sible to avoid all error in a work of this kind, from inadvertence or limited information, but it is believed such errors have been reduced to the minimum. The author will gladly welcome corrections. In the "Genealogy of the Welsh and Hy,att Families" he has sought to conserve in permanent form the many records he has gath­ ered in the research of years, many of which otherwise would become pevmanently lost to these families. The intrinsic value of genealogy, ihowever, fromJ the biologioal standpoint, does not lie in any one or two ancestral sources, but in all the elements that have contributed to the formation of the individual life and character. Hence, in the "Colonial Generations of Kindred Families," is given something of the origin and early history of these families-all of whom have been notivbly prominent in Md. history-whose blood strains have entered into and become a component part of the life-stream of almost all of the in­ dividual families who are represented herein.
