The tug Baltimore’s web site, launched in late September 2005, has already garnered interest and contact from steam aficionados outside Maryland. A broad base of supportive individuals interested in the preservation of unique pieces of steam equipment is a realistic expectation. The Baltimore’s historical importance to many of the largest and longest standing industries and corporations in the city of Baltimore bodes well for corporate interest in the Company’s mission. The Baltimore & Chesapeake Steamboat Company enthusiastically embraces the challenges and opportunities that can combine to present the steam tug Baltimore as a unique teaching tool, an exceptional and artfully crafted steam powered vessel, and a fine example of 19th century era engineering.
