USS CONSTELLATION Page 4 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form
NPS Form 10-900 USDI/NPS NRHP Registration Form (Rev. 8-86) OMB No. 1024-0018 USS CONSTELLATION Page 4 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form Summary The USS Constellation’s career in naval service spanned one hundred years: from commissioning on July 28, 1855 at Norfolk Navy Yard, Virginia to final decommissioning on February 4, 1955 at Boston, Massachusetts. (She was moved to Baltimore, Maryland in the summer of 1955.) During that century this sailing sloop-of-war, sometimes termed a “corvette,” was nationally significant for its ante-bellum service, particularly for its role in the effort to end the foreign slave trade. It is also nationally significant as a major resource in the mid-19th century United States Navy representing a technological turning point in the history of U.S. naval architecture. In addition, the USS Constellation is significant for its Civil War activities, its late 19th century missions, and for its unique contribution to international relations both at the close of the 19th century and during World War II. At one time it was believed that Constellation was a 1797 ship contemporary to the frigate Constitution moored in Boston. This led to a long-standing controversy over the actual identity of the Constellation. Maritime scholars long ago reached consensus that the vessel currently moored in Baltimore is the 1850s U.S. navy sloop-of-war, not the earlier 1797 frigate. Describe Present and Historic Physical Appearance. The USS Constellation, now preserved at Baltimore, Maryland, was built at the navy yard at Norfolk, Virginia.

The Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad Steam Ferry Landing Site in Perryville, Maryland, at the Mouth of the Susqu
NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL UNDERGROUND RAILROAD NETWORK TO FREEDOM Summary: Tell us in 200 words or less what is being nominated and how it is connected to the Underground Railroad. The Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad Steam Ferry Landing site in Perryville, Maryland, at the mouth of the Susquehanna River, is relevant to the resistance to slavery. The site is associated with famous and lesser known escapes, and one kidnapping and rescue of a free Pennsylvania citizen. At the Susquehanna River, trains stopped in Havre de Grace, passengers and cars crossed on the railroad ferry, and resumed their journey from Perryville. Frederick Douglass escaped on this railroad in 1838, and the Crafts in 1848. Charlotte Giles and Harriet Eglin escaped from Baltimore on this railroad. Henry “Box” Brown was freighted across on the ferry in 1859. Rachel Parker was kidnapped on the last day of 1851 by Thomas McCreary, who Frederick Douglass and other abolitionists referred to as “the notorious kidnapper from Elkton.” Part of the drama of her abduction, her rescue, and her pleas for freedom unfolded at the railroad site in Perryville. In 1853, Aaron Digges, fleeing from a Baltimore butcher, entered the train at the Susquehanna crossing, but he fell into the hands of Constable Thomas McCreary. S4. Describe the site’s association and significance to the Underground Railroad. Provide citations for sources used throughout the text. Timelines are encouraged. Cecil County, Maryland, wedged into the northeast corner of the state, shares two Mason Dixon Lines, and is equidistant between Baltimore and Philadelphia. The more famous segment is the symbolic north-south divide at Maryland’s border with the Free State of Pennsylvania.

Bibliography The bibliography includes publication data for every work cited in the source notes of the articles. It should be noted that while there are more than a thousand titles listed, this bibliography can by no means be considered exhaustive. Taken together, the literature on the Titanic, Bounty, and Columbus’s Niña, Pinta, and Santa María comprises hundreds of books and articles.

Eastern Avenue Pumping Station
Baltimore City Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation Landmark Designation Report September 8, 2015 Eastern Avenue Pumping Station 751 Eastern Avenue Baltimore, Maryland Commission for historical & architectural preservation ERIC HOLCOMB, Executive Director Charles L. Benton, Jr. Building 417 East Fayette Street Eighth Floor Baltimore, MD 21202-3416 410-396-4866 STEPHANIE RAWLINGS-BLAKE THOMAS J. STOSUR Mayor Director Significance Summary At the start of the twentieth century, Baltimore City trailed behind other American cities in terms of public health and sanitation, because it lacked a municipal sewer system. Following the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904, the City quickly constructed a comprehensive and modern sewer and stormwater management system that connected the entire city. It was an engineering marvel that anticipated the needs of the city decades into the future. The Eastern Avenue Pumping Station, designed by Baltimore architect Henry Brauns and completed in 1912, is the most prominent structure constructed for this sewer system. The large Classical Revival building, located on the Jones Falls at Eastern Avenue in downtown Baltimore, still serves its original purpose of meeting the sanitation needs of the city. History Until the first decade of the 20th century, Baltimore was far behind other American cities in terms of adequate disposal of sewage, as it lacked a sewer system.1 Citizens relied on privies, cesspools, and open drains for its sewage, which was a serious detriment to public health.2 The 1895 Annual Report of the Health Department stated that “our privies are the most dangerous enemies to our lives and happiness…[and] are a fruitful source of disease,” and directed that legal recourse should be taken to develop a sewer system, “a practical idea which is carried out by many cities more enterprising than Baltimore.”3 The City formed the Baltimore Sewerage Commission in the first decade of the twentieth century to address the sanitary needs of a rapidly expanding city.

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.
