Tall Ships and Baltimore's Maritime History

Why did Baltimore thrive as a port?  What developments led to innovations in ship design?  Did you know that there were 72 shipyards in Baltimore during the 1800s?  The British referred to Baltimore as a “hornet’s nest of ship building”.  How did the arrival of goods from China usher in a new age of commerce?  How did John O’Donnell reshape Baltimore and how did he interact with George Washington?  Who was Thomas Boyle and what was the Chasseur?  What are the lasting legacies associated with tall ships that continue to shape Baltimore today?  

These questions and more will be answered and discussed in a lively presentation followed by question and answer.

Presentatior: Niall O'Malley: DSC Member and Local Historian
