BALTIMORE isn't expected to steam again until after the 100th birthday celebrations in late October.

There will, however, be lots of coal smoke as an entire North American Steam Boat Association squadron of vertical boiler steam launches are expected to be in attendance during the birthday bash along with steam whistle enthusiasts and blacksmiths demonstrating the nearly-lost-art of button head riveting.

Check out our party page via the link below.

Pat Matthews of Seaways Magazine, and a resident of Michigan, will be on hand to cover the activites. Why not see if you can hook up with Pat and join the smoke, smells, sounds and sights?

Cheers!
