"Old
Baltimore Harbor"
by Paul McGehee. Baltimore's Inner Harbor was a busy working waterfront
in 1930. The newly completed Baltimore Trust Building (now Maryland
National Bank) towered over one of America's most prosperous crossroads
of commerce. Graceful white passenger steamers would dock along Light
Street, taking on people and produce bound for all points on the
Chesapeake Bay. The harbor was alive with the sounds of steam whistles
and paddle wheels churning, and with the smell of spices and roasting
coffee from McCormick's and other processing plants. It was the
twilight era of working sail and steam vessels...a time we shall not
see again.
