Baltimore is the largest city in the U.S. state of Maryland, and the 29th-most populous city in the country. It was established by the Constitution of Maryland[17] and is not part of any county, thus it is the largest independent city in the United States. Baltimore has more public monuments than any other city per capita in the country and is home to some of the earliest National Register historic districts in the nation, including Fell's Point (1969), Federal Hill (1970) and Mount Vernon Place (1971). More than 65,000 properties, or roughly one in three buildings in the city, are listed on the National Register, more than any other city in the nation.[18][19]
Founded in 1729, Baltimore is the second largest seaport in the Mid-Atlantic.[20] Baltimore's Inner Harbor was once the second leading port of entry for immigrants to the United States and a major manufacturing center.[21] After a decline in major manufacturing, industrialization and rail transportation, Baltimore shifted to a service-oriented economy, with the Johns Hopkins Hospital (founded 1889), and Johns Hopkins University (founded 1876), now the city's top two employers.[22]
Baltimore had a population of 621,849 in 2015; in 2010, that of Baltimore Metropolitan Area was 2.7 million, the 21st largest in the country.[23][24] With hundreds of identified districts, Baltimore has been dubbed a city of neighborhoods. Famous residents have included the writers Edgar Allan Poe, Edith Hamilton, Frederick Douglass, and H.L. Mencken; jazz musician James Eubie Blake; singer Billie Holiday; actor and filmmaker John Waters; and baseball player Babe Ruth. In the War of 1812, Francis Scott Key wrote The Star-Spangled Banner, later the American national anthem, in the city.[25] Almost a quarter of the jobs in the Baltimore region are in science, technology, engineering and math, in part attributed to its extensive undergraduate and graduate schools.[26]
Tourism[edit]
Baltimore's history and attractions have allowed the city to become a strong tourist destination on the East Coast. In 2014, the city hosted 24.5 million visitors, who spent $5.2 billion.[180] The Baltimore Visitor Center, which is operated by Visit Baltimore, is located on Light Street in the Inner Harbor. Much of the city's tourism centers around the Inner Harbor, with the National Aquarium being Maryland's top tourist destination. Baltimore Harbor's restoration has made it a city of boats, with several historic ships and other attractions on display and open for the public to visit. The USS Constellation, the last Civil War-era vessel afloat, is docked at the head of the Inner Harbor; the USS Torsk, a submarine that holds the Navy's record for dives (more than 10,000); and the Coast Guard cutter Taney, the last surviving U.S. warship that was in Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941, and which engaged Japanese Zero aircraft during the battle.[181]
Also docked is the lightship Chesapeake, which for decades marked the entrance to Chesapeake Bay; and the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse, the oldest surviving screw-pile lighthouse on Chesapeake Bay, which once marked the mouth of the Patapsco River and the entrance to Baltimore. All of these attractions are owned and maintained by the Historic Ships in Baltimore organization. The Inner Harbor also is the home port of Pride of Baltimore II, the state of Maryland's goodwill ambassador ship, a reconstruction of a famous Baltimore Clipper ship.[181]
Other popular tourist destinations throughout the city include Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Fort McHenry, the Mount Vernon and Fells Point neighborhoods, and museums such as the Walters Art Museum, the Baltimore Museum of Industry, and the B&O Railroad Museum.

Fort McHenry is the pentagonal bastion fort in the Baltimore, Maryland, Locust Point district. It is a national treasure, because it successfully defended Baltimore Harbor from an attack by the British navy from the Chesapeake Bay on September 13, 1814. The next morning, the fort flew a 30x42 feet American garrison flag, signaling victory and inspiring Francis Scott Key to write the poem 'Defense of Fort M'Henry' which was set to the tune 'To Anacreon of Heaven'. The song went on to be called 'The Star Spangled Banner' and now serves as the National Anthem of the United States. Today, thousands of tourists visit this historic site to see the real original flag which was hoisted in 1814 to signal America’s victory.
Baltimore's Inner Harbor is a historic neighborhood and seaport hailed as the model for post-industrial waterfront redevelopment around the world, in 2009 by Urban Land Institute. The economic devastation from World War Two left this area littered with abandoned factories and warehouses through the 1950s. A decade of initiatives from Mayors Thomas D'Alesandro and Theodore McKeldon revitalized the district by replacing the dilapidation with waterfront parks and surrounding hotels and business headquarters. Today, it is a bastion of culture with music and art, recreation and sailing.
The 71,000 seat M&T Bank Stadium is home to the NFL's Baltimore Ravens. It was built in 1999 with a price-tag of 220 million and features statues honoring legends Johnny Unitas and Ray Lewis. The 46,000 seat Orioles Park at Camden Yards is home to the MLB's Baltimore Orioles. It was built in 1992 for $110 million and, instead of destroying the B&O Warehouse it replaced, this building was incorporated into the design. Here, Cal Ripken Jr played his 2,131st consecutive game and Eddie Murray hit his 500th home run.
This one-acre museum housing more than 67,000 square feet of exhibition space features more than 4,000 permanent pieces of ‘outsider art’. It is an American icon. The museum’s founder, Rebecca Hoffberger, converted this shuttered copper paint factory and whiskey warehouse into a cultural mecca of art brut. It is now designated as America’s National Museum for Self-taught Art by the U.S. Congress. AVAM hosts annual mega-exhibitions which bring together artists from all across the United States and abroad to showcase absolutely unique expression pieces centered around a grand-theme.
In 1729, Baltimore was named after the Irish estate of Cecil Calvert, the first proprietor of Maryland and grew around the Port of Baltimore. Today, more than 2.8 million people call it home, making it the US's 21st most-populated city. Bromo-Seltzer Arts Tower is an iconic landmark in the city’s business district. Just a few blocks away, you can visit Boston Basilica, the first Catholic Cathedral built in the United States. Next, walk a few blocks to see the incredible George Washington tower.

Baltimore is a major city in Maryland with a long history as an important seaport. Fort McHenry, birthplace of the U.S. national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” sits at the mouth of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Today, this harbor area offers shops, upscale crab shacks and attractions like the Civil War–era warship the USS Constellation and the National Aquarium, showcasing thousands of marine creatures.
Baltimore is a popular tourist destination in Maryland, in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States of America, near Washington, D.C. It is perhaps most famously known historically as the city where Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics for the Star Spangled Banner during the Battle of Baltimore of the War of 1812. Today it has become a major center for tourism and travel. Local highlights include excellent seafood (steamed blue crabs, raw oysters, Maryland crab cakes, and Maryland crab soup) and Camden Yards (the first retro major league ball park and where the Baltimore Orioles play). Baltimore possesses a vibrant arts scene with the largest free arts festival in the US (Artscape) occurring annually in July, a renowned arts museum American Visionary Arts Museum that is dedicated to outsider art, and the Maryland Institute College of Art and the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins. It is also home to Johns Hopkins University, Morgan State University, University of Baltimore, Loyola University, Goucher College, and the Notre Dame of Maryland University.
Baltimore has an absolutely staggering number of officially designated neighborhoods, Inner Harbor, If you are a tourist, you come here. Fells Point could not be more complementary to the Inner Harbor—historic. An incongruous mix of Baltimore's central business district, the University of Maryland-Baltimore, the awe inspiring Lexington Market, the infamously seedy Block, and the Bromo Arts District.
One of the nicest sections of the city, home to the performing arts district, Penn Station, and a host of other attractions (Walters Art Museum, the original Washington Monument, dining and wining on Charles St, the University of Baltimore, Station North Arts District etc.) that most visitors foolishly pass over. South Baltimore
Industrial blue-collar South Baltimore is dying, and is quickly being replaced with upscale gentrified neighborhoods like Federal Hill.
Most visitors to the area know only Johns Hopkins University and the always interesting commercial strip along Charles St nearby. But it is unfortunate that they overlook the quirkiest of quirky neighborhoods, Hampden. Infamous West Baltimore. If you have watched the Wire, this was where the crime was taking place! But don't be fooled. There are some major tourist draws here, like the Maryland Zoo in Druid Hill Park, Pimlico Racecourse, and Edgar Allen Poe's House.Baltimore's great rivalry between east and west is certainly an example of the narcissism of small differences. Attractions in the east are very few and far between, but things are changing fast as booming Johns Hopkins Medical Campus expands and demolishes in its wake.

Historic Ships Baltimore
In honour of those who served for our countries. This was not a planned shoot by any means. While filming another project we decided to visit the ships in Baltimore and since I had my camera gear with me I figured I would shoot for fun. Due to Remembrance Day and Veterans Day just passing I decided to put this small tribute together. If you are ever in the area you should make the visit, it is not only interesting, but to actually be on a ship/sub that participated in these historical events is amazing.
For further information on the ships:

Cylburn Arboretum and Maymont Mansion Fieldtrip Fails
Filming can be challenging with weather and technical difficulties. My editor and I visited two beautiful historical arboretums , Cylburn Arboretum in Baltimore, MD and Maymont Mansion in Richmond, Virginia. At Cylburn Arboretum, I ran out of memory, and at Maymont Mansion we were stormed out before getting down to the main gardens. We still managed to enjoy ourselves. I hope you enjoy these small glimpses of these beautiful attractions.
