"Old Baltimore Harbor" by Paul McGehee. Baltimore's Inner Harbor was a busy working waterfront in 1930. The newly completed Baltimore Trust Building (now Maryland National Bank) towered over one of America's most prosperous crossroads of commerce. Graceful white passenger steamers would dock along Light Street, taking on people and produce bound for all points on the Chesapeake Bay. The harbor was alive with the sounds of steam whistles and paddle wheels churning, and with the smell of spices and roasting coffee from McCormick's and other processing plants. It was the twilight era of working sail and steam vessels...a time we shall not see again. ~ The Paul McGehee Collection
