So far, 34 containers have been removed from the cargo ship Dali and 32 vessels have passed through temporary shipping channels established after the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, Maryland Gov.

Among the few vessels on the water in Baltimore on a blustery Friday afternoon was one of the most conspicuous: a topsail schooner that is the floating symbol of the city and one of the most famous tall ships in the world.

Officials did not identify the victim at the request of the family, but he is presumed to be one of the six construction workers who fell from the bridge as it collapsed.

For the second time in less than a week, recreational vessels will be allowed passage through the Key Bridge safety zone by using the temporary channel off Sollers Point, located on the northeast side of the channel off Dundalk.

Nearly four weeks after the collapse of the Key Bridge, about 1,300 tons of steel have been removed from the Patapsco River as salvage crews move closer to clearing part of the shipping channel by the self-imposed deadline of the end of April.

History buff, urban relic hunter, sometimes bane of archaeologists, custodian of the Inner Harbor, content creator, and social media darling — Evan Woodard could be described as all these things.

Exactly four weeks after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed, salvage crews removed its biggest piece of debris to date, a section of truss weighing 560 tons, clearing the way to open the deepest and widest temporary channel by the end of this week.

A hydraulic salvage grab that resembles the talons of a giant bird of prey is in the process of being attached to the Chesapeake 1000 crane, another monster piece of equipment that has been an indispensable tool in the removal of thousands of tons of debris left in

“It's our port, our city, our channel, our community, and when I say our, I mean everybody,” said Col. Estee Pinchasin, who commands the Baltimore District of the Corps that is overseeing the collective effort to open the port. “ It's also our fellow Marylanders who are missing.”

Anyone with a stake, big or small, in the harbor and the port had to at least reconsider their plans and fortunes. Some felt the impact of the disaster like a tsunami, others a breaking wave. The fortunate ones felt just a ripple.
