 Information about Baltimore Harbor
In the year 1975,
Baltimore was trying to reinvent itself. Baltimore was
struggling to become a vibrant center for business, commerce,
and comfortable living . People were thinking that the harbor
could be considered a magnet for people. Baltimore Harbor was
once an attraction to ships and trade. But the Baltimore
Harbor was missing- a symbol, a trademark, and icon to link to
the harbor.
Former Mayor William
Donald Schaefer credits then Housing Commissioner Bob Embry
with the idea to build a ship and place it in the Inner Harbor
to draw people to the harbor.
The Waterfront
Promenade is more than a sidewalk along the water, it makes
Baltimore very unique. The Promenade is covering seven miles
of shoreline of one of America’s urban bodies of water. The
Promenade connects historic communities, such as Fells Point
and Federal Hill, to downtown and harbor place. Baltimore’s
characters are explained through five community markers. There
are thousands of fact plaques which cover many historical,
cultural, architectural, environmental and social histories.
When you visit Baltimore Harbor you can relax in Canton and
Fort McHenry or shop in downtown Inner Harbor or Little Italy.
The harbor is good for all ages!
The Canton Waterfront Park has become a main
attraction to people. There is some much to do at the park.
You can just walk around, you could go fishing, go and launch
your boat, or just enjoy the view of Fort McHenry or just
simply watch the activities on the water. Also, there is a
special place on the upper level of the fishing area for
bricks. These bricks are for the families to celebrate their
heritage on the water where so many people have lived and
worked. And they are also for the family and friends to pay
tribute to friends and relatives who have dedicated their
lives to serving their country.
The Inner Harbor
East, Little Italy, has a wonderful view of a two-level
Promenade stretching all the way from Eastern Avenue Bridge to
Columbus Center, past the new Inner Harbor East Marina, to
Central Avenue- a few blocks from Fells Point. The engraved
bricks are placed in a diamond pattern on the lower edge of
the water along Lancaster Street. And the residents love
Little Italy just to go and relax on the oasis on the
waterfront.
The Museum of
Industry, South Baltimore, anchors the southern terminus of
the waterfront. You can also have your bricks placed on either
the Museum’s new front porch or on the harbor’s walkway.
The Ravens Plaza will
go along with the Coast Guard Plaza, the Bicentennial Plaza,
Broadway Pier, Harbor East- Little Italy, and Canton
Waterfront Park as a part of where brick buyers can place
their engraved bricks on the waterfront walkway.
