International parade of ships kicks off Star-Spangled 200, a celebration of the Bicentennial of the War of 1812.
Baltimore's Inner Harbor is the place to be this week as Star-Spangled 200, a commemoration of the Bicentennial of the War of 1812, kicks off with an international parade of tall ships and other vessels.
Star-Spangled Sailabration 2012, a week-long event organized by the U.S. Navy and Operation Sail in partnership with the State of Maryland and City of Baltimore, will run through June 19.
The Sailabration will feature free public tours of participating ships, including U.S., British and Canadian naval vessels, waterside festivities and an air show featuring the Blue Angels, according to Sailabration literature.
The ships will be docked in the Inner Harbor, Fells Point and Locust Point.
The outbound Parade of Sail is scheduled for June 19.
Check Star-Spangled 200's website for the most up-to-date schedule and event details.

Breathtaking. The whole community was looking towards the sky. From the front porches to the golf courses, all eyes were heavenly bound.

Now it's time to kick-off improvements at the Battle of North Point sites in Dundalk.
Battle Acre Park and DNR's battlefield site would bring visitors to the area if they
looked like something you would want to visit. Let's get in on the celebration! It will
last for over two years.

Chris, the county has to make a commitment on the finical side. I'm not sure on the exact issues now, but at one time there were numerous ones.
This should be a priority.
