Description

SHIPBUILDING ON THE PATAPSCO: 300 YEARS OF BALTIMOREANS AND THEIR SHIPS – From the earliest days of a settlement to the closing of the last yard at Sparrows Point in the late 20th century, Baltimoreans toiled in dozens of locations building some of the finest vessels ever constructed. From wood to steel, sail then steam, local yards built thousands of ships. Some names we know: The Baltimore Clipper and Liberty Ships - more built in Baltimore than anywhere else. Fleets of small craft, utility tasked ships and the building of a “replacement” refrigerated cargo fleet are just a few of the ship stories that dominated the city for hundreds of years.
