The Port of Baltimore

This event is no longer on sale.

Tuesday October 26

7:00 PM  –  8:00 PM

Join us on October 26th at 7:00PM for an in-depth look at the history of Baltimore's port with Senior Museum Educator Jack Burkert. This program will be hosted on Zoom. Access provided after registration.

Were it not for the Port, there may have never been a Baltimore. But the story of the port is more than the long touted “Location, location, location” mantra - it is a story of the work of thousands of people written over hundreds of years. With every step forward there seemed to come a new challenge: competition from canals, the building of railroads, the upheaval of a Civil War and a dozen more problems and changes, each an obstacle to be overcome. The people, the ships, the overnight steamers of the Old Bay Line - all of these and more have led us to today’s Helen Delich Bentley Port of Baltimore.
