Weekend Roundup (September 28th-29th, 2013)


There's so much going on this weekend, that it's hard to see it all:


And a few things that go on every weekend that you should take part in:

Go Aboard the Liberty Ship John W Brown All This Week!


Starting today, September 24th, until this Sunday, September 28th from 10AM to 5PM, you can climb aboard the Liberty Ship SS John W. Brown at the Weber Street Pier (Next to Little Havanas in South Baltimore).  This is your chance to board one of only 2 Liberty ships still afloat today (and the only one on the entire East coast).  If you're unfamiliar, The US built 2,710 Liberty Ships in 18 shipyards, including Baltimore's Bethlehem Steel, for World War II.  The ships were built at break-neck speed due to the overwhelming need for them during the war.  One was even built in 4 days and 15.5 hours...

Here's the official website for the ship.  The crew of the ship request a donation of around $5 to help with the upkeep and moving of the ship, but do not require it.

Battle of Baltimore


199 years ago today, the British started their invasion of Baltimore (though fighting started on the 13th) with 19 warships and 5,000 ground troops.  Over the course of the 4 day battle, between 79 and 99 men died (including the invading General Ross) while between 376 and 384 men were wounded.  Baltimore did what Washington DC was unable to do, defend itself from British forces.  It proved a turning point in the war, and ultimately helped to end the war on better terms for the US.  Here's a great article where you can read a bit more, and make sure to make it down to Fort McHenry itself!
