Maryland Ports ‘11 2 American Journal of Transportation ajot.com Baltimore puts on its fighting gloves to become key seaport MARYLAND PORTS ‘11 By Karen E. Thuermer, AJOT If there ever was a boxing 50-foot Seagirt container berth, match between seaports, we’d which is planned to include four probably see the Port of Baltimore Super Post-Panamax cranes, and Port of Virginia in the ring. is scheduled to be completed Both are strong contenders in August 2012. When to attract increased business completed, the new berth to their seaports once will accommodate ships the economy gets on a carrying up to 14,000 steady course. In fact, TEU containers. the Port of Baltimore is DRIVER FOR already making some impressive punches. GROWTH Let’s begin MPA officials with Mediterranean and those with Ports Shipping Company’s America Chesapeake, (MSC) 9,178 TEU ship dubbed with whom MPA has entered the Bruxelles, which called at into a private/public partnership the Port of Baltimore’s Seagirt (“P3”) to develop the berth, Marine Terminal in mid July. expect the project to be a real Maryland Port Administration driver in accommodating larger (MPA) officials remark this vessels and attracting more cargo enormous ship is only a sign of to and from Baltimore. bigger vessels yet to come. In (GLOVES – continued on fact, the port received another page 3) Container vessels lined at Seagirt Marine Terminal at the Port of Baltimore post-Panamax containership, the 9,200-TEU MSC Sindy, on August 2. To date, the Bruxelles and the Sindy are the largest containerships to call at the Port of Baltimore. The Bruxelles, alone weighs about 107,000 gross tons, and is 1,011 feet in length and 138 feet wide. But beginning next year when the Port of Baltimore’s new 50-foot container berth is completed at Seagirt, the port will be able to accommodate fully-loaded ships like the Bruxelles and Sindy with ease, and even larger ones. “Large ships like these need 50-feet of water depth in order to bring in their maximum loads,” says MPA Executive Director James J. White. When the new 50-foot container berth is completed next year at the port’s Seagirt Terminal, MPA’s Port of Baltimore will be one of only two East Coast ports to have water depth capable of handling such massive vessels. The other is the Virginia Port Authority’s (VPA) Port of Norfolk, which is why this puts the Port of Virginia into the fighting ring. The Port of New York/New Jersey also provides a 50-foot channel, but bridges/overpasses – deemed sky restrictions – prevent the large ships from taking advantage of the port’s deep water. Given the fact that only about 250 land miles separate them, Baltimore and Norfolk are especially keen competitors in attracting steamship line rotations for post-Panamax ships looking for East Coast ports of call, particularly once the Panama Canal widening project is completed in 2014. The Panama Canal widening project will make it possible for the large post-Panamax ships to transit the Panama Canal and call on the U.S. East Coast rather than calling on the U.S. West Coast where shipments are then trucked or railed across the United States to their destinations. The large ships already calling at the ports come via the Suez Canal and Mediterranean Sea.

As Vance Bennett, project is significant for moving page 6) Mark Montgomery, President and CEO Ports America Chesapeake, explains to AJOT that his company aimed to finish the new berth in 2012 -- two years ahead of the opening of the widened Panama Canal, because he believes steamship lines are already considering their rotations going forward. “A lot of ports are having problems getting prepared to accommodate ships in time for the widening of the Canal,” he says. “By comparison, Baltimore has taken a ‘built it and they will come’ attitude. We will be in position when steamship lines decide their rotations since we will have the necessary infrastructure.” Already existing Seagirt terminal assets operated by Ports America include three berths, seven container cranes, and 12 gantries. According to Montgomery, current cranes in operation at the terminal are capable of making 37 moves per hour per crane. “Truck turn times are less than 30 minutes for a single move and 60 minutes for a double move,” he adds. The terminal uses Navis SPARCS vessel and yard planning programs, which increase efficiencies. ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES There are other advantages, particularly for when volumes Northwest Ohio pick up and increased numbers of containers transit the Port of Baltimore. One is the 199 acres CSX’s new intermodal hub located in Northwest Ohio will make you more competitive of land available for distribution center development next to Seagirt from coast to coast and throughout the Midwest.

By virtue of geography, the productivity and environmental stewardship. Port of Baltimore offers another key benefit. That is the fact the port is 150 miles inland. This gives shippers an automatic savings of $150 -250 per truck move, says Joe Greco, MPA deputy director of marketing Furthermore, Baltimore sits Contact your Intermodal Sales Representative or right at the doorstep of some of the nation’s highest incomes.

    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.
