Here is my piece. It is called Baltimore Skyline
My rendition of the Baltimore Inner Harbor, with the mast of the U.S.S. Constellation on the right and the National Aquarium in the
lower left.
Once again, I sincerely thank you!
Quick Facts:
When the Inner Harbor was no longer of use for passenger and commercial shipping, due to economic changes in the 1950's, old
warehouses and piers were torn down and the space changed in to parkland. Over time the area was transformed with leisure
attractions, businesses, hotels and shopping plazas, which proved to be a beneficial boon to the local economy. The area is now
very popular with tourists.
The U.S.S. Constellation that sits in Inner Harbor, Baltimore, is the second ship of that name. The first one was built in 1797 at the
Sterrett Shipyard in Baltimore, and after a long career was broken up in 1853 at Norfolk, Virginia. The current incarnation was built
at the Norfolk Naval Yard in 1855.
The National Aquarium in Baltimore is consistently rated as one of the best aquariums in the United States, with endorsements
coming from the Travel Channel, Coastal Living Magazine and 10Best.com. They have also been honored with the Maryland Green
Registry Leadership Award and have been recognized Smart CEO Magazine and the Baltimore Business Journal for their superb
record of using green practices.
White Hall, Maryland is home to Ivory Mills, a historic grist mill complex that has been listed on the National Register of Historic
Places. The complex consists of six frame buildings and structures from the 19 th century, including a three-story stone and frame
mill building that was built around the year 1818. Originally started in 1781, the mill continued to operate until the 1920's.
