Just read your postings and can honoestly say that you are both prime examples of what sort of people can contribute to BALTIMORE'S renewed date with destiny.

From your forum remarks, Ted has been spending his well appreciated opportunities in the heart of the Tug's propulsion system while Derrick has been serving high above in BALTIMORE'S cyber crow's nest. It's sorta like Ted is physically helping to move BALTIMORE toward her next steaming while Derrick is vanguarding to the Internet world bit-by-byte with his cyber-trumpet.

No pun intended but such efforts can only lead to sure-fired effects. It also proves that BALTIMORE truly can be a project for everyone, young and old, near or far, who'd like to make this dream their dream project.

What of the rest of us? ...

We can use our collective talents and efforts to bring BALTIMORE into the channels and waterways of today so as to produce a long-ago perspective, albeit to offer a real-time glimpse into the lives of our forefathers, to enjoy, to marvel and to understand. Can you feel her moving beneath your feet yet? I can.

Got a skill? We need you. Got a talent? We can benefit from it. Got a computer? Dumb question? Maybe not.

Say, do you know of another person or allied site who should know about the BALTIMORE project? Do they have a loink to http://www.steamtug.org ? You can be a cyber scout, make your mark for this project. Then make plans to come alongside. We need you. This National Historic Register'd vessel needs you! Throw us a line... You won't regret it.
