Over a few days this summer, I went around the Baltimore harbor. I went to as many places I could excluding the Inner Harbor just because the Inner Habor is obviously the most photographed area of the city. There is a lot of areas along the harbor that can't be accessed because of all the industry, but I saw some pretty cool places that not too many people see. This is a more unusual harbor tour in that sense. Starts off in some more familiar territory and goes further. Here's what I got! Enjoy
1. That's the Pier homes in the foreground, the new Morgan Stanley in the middle, and Mr. Boh in the distance

37. Harbor Point. This is a very contentious issue right now and development of the site has been in the works for a long, long time. Controversy at the moment stems from the use of tax breaks and subsidies given due to its proximity to Public Housing (Perkins Homes). This is the current
proposal
38. Elevated Highway along the Middle Branch of the harbor in the Westport neighborhood. The Westport Development is also a large scale development which is stalled
39. Marina Club at the Middle Branch Park in Cherry Hill

44. The Hanover Street Bridge, offically known as the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge. The Gwynns falls trail goes under it and people have used this access to spray paint it. Really pretty bridge from 1916

52. The rarely seen main branch of the Potapsco River seen from Cherry Hill Park with the route 2 bridge to the left
53. A New park. Not sure what its name is, perhaps an extention of the Gwynns Falls trail
54. Curtis Bay is the water in the middle with Hawkins point in the distance. That elevation is not natural. Highly industrialized area. Hawkins Point was the site of a Superfund completed last year
55.
56. Key Bridge from Hawkins Point with Dundalk on the Other side, taken from Fort Armistead State Park
57. Fort Caroll is an artificial Island in the Potapsco river, technically in Baltimore County, completed in 1850. Interestingly Robert E. Lee designed this hexagonal structure as part of the permanent system/third system, which means the Fort Mchenry wasn't Baltimore's only defense. Used in the Civil War and the Spanish-American war. It was officially abandoned in 1921 and continues to be abandoned.
58. Brandon Shores Generating Station in Anne Arundel County
