Trolley Line Number 9 Trail

The Trolley Line #9 Trail is a 1.25-mile (2.0 km) trail in western Baltimore County, Maryland. It begins at the west end of Edmondson Avenue and extends from Catonsville through Oella to Main Street, Ellicott City. The trail follows what was originally part of the Catonsville and Ellicott City Electric Railway Company trolley line that shuttled passengers between Ellicott City and Baltimore from the late 1890s to the mid-1950s. Catonsville & Ellicott City Electric Railway Company In 1805 the Baltimore and Frederick Turnpike was constructed to provide a route from Baltimore to Boonsboro Maryland. On 11 March 1861 the Baltimore, Catonsville and Ellicott Mills Passenger Railway Company was formed to service the towns of Catonsville, Oella, and Ellicott City with horse-drawn cars on the turnpike right-of-way. The company agreed that the line would not use steam trains or carry freight. Trips between Catonsville and Baltimore took two hours. The company became insolvent competing with the Catonsville Short Line Railroad (1884), and was purchased as part of the City and Suburban Railway Corporation. In 1895, the follow-on Baltimore and Catonsville Railway Company decided to extend its lines four miles to Ellicott City and convert to 33 foot long cars using electricity. Stock was issued on 25 November 1895 for the Edmondson Avenue, Catonsville & Ellicott City Electric Railway Company. Victor G. Bloede's Evans & Co. was initially given 90 days to complete the project. The company was a subsidiary of the Eden Construction Company that built Victorian neighborhoods of Eden Terrace in Catonsville. George Yakel took over as president with Louis Yaakel as vice president and William Layfield as treasurer. Construction was difficult, requiring extensive excavation along the Patapsco River Valley with several construction deaths. Steam engine winches powered plows to break the surface. Cobblestone pavers filled the surfaces between the tracks. A double track ran from Baltimore to Catonsville, and a single line ran to Ellicott City. The parent construction company went insolvent in 1897, and the railroad was later purchased and consolidated with the United Railways and Electric Company, and later the Columbia & Maryland Railway Company. Gaither's Electric express provided freight operations for a two-mile section running through Ellicott City. In the early 1900s it faced lawsuits for carrying freight against its original operating contracts. On 7 June 1914, the 200 ft long wooden bridge between Howard County and Baltimore County burned down from a discarded cigarette. Trail A century after its construction, in the 1990s, the abandoned right-of-way was converted as part of a rails-to-trails program. Today, the path is paved and features a section of boardwalk next to walls of rock that were hand-cut by the original builders.

Tudor Hall (Bel Air, Maryland)

Tudor Hall is a historic home located at Bel Air, Harford County, Maryland, United States. It is a 1+1⁄2-story Gothic Revival cottage built of painted brick. The house was built as a country retreat by Junius Brutus Booth (1796–1852) from Plates 44 and 45, Design XVII, of The Architect, by William H. Ranlett, 1847. However, Booth never lived in Tudor Hall, because he died before it was completed. His son Edwin Booth lived there only briefly on his return from California before he moved the family back into Baltimore. But his other son, John Wilkes Booth, lived there with his mother, brother Joseph, and two sisters from December 1852 through most of 1856. After the family moved out, they rented the home to the King family and later sold it to Sam Kyle and Ella Mahoney. She lived in Tudor Hall for 70 years and opened a museum. After her death the house passed through a succession of owners, including the Worthington family, who owned the Aegis newspaper. Finally the house was sold to the Foxes, who reopened Mahoney's museum. Tudor Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. A modification to its listing, to decrease its boundaries, was registered in 1982. After the Preservation Association of Tudor Hall (PATH) collapsed, Tudor Hall was sold to the Bakers and later to Harford County, who are now in possession of the historic home. The house is currently the home of the Junius B. Booth Society, a group of volunteers dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the historic home. Tudor Hall is open for tours on select Sundays from April until November and during special events hosted by the Society.

Turkey Point Light

The Turkey Point Light is a historic lighthouse at the head of the Chesapeake Bay. Although only a 35-foot (11 m) tower, the 100-foot (30 m) height of the bluffs on which it stands makes it the third highest light off the water in the bay. It is also known for the large number of women who served as lightkeeper. History Congress appropriated $5,000 for this light in early 1833, which was built by John Donahoo and completed in July 1833. He followed essentially the same plan as he had used for Concord Point Light. Acquisition of the land was delayed somewhat by a controversy over valuation. The light originally used eleven wicks and reflectors, but in 1855 a fourth order Fresnel lens with a single lamp was substituted, with the lantern upgraded in 1867 to fit the new lens better. The lighting arrangements were upgraded several times over the years, with electrification coming in 1942. Its automation in 1947 brought about the retirement of Fannie Salter, the last woman lighthouse keeper in the United States. Along with the tower, Donahoo built a keeper's house. Originally a single story, it was raised to two stories in 1889. The site also housed an unusual fog bell enclosure, built in 1888. Due to the height of the bluff, it was decided to put the bell as low to the ground as possible. To accommodate the weights for the ringing mechanism, a thirty-foot well was dug and the enclosure placed over them. During World War II a watchtower was placed atop the bell enclosure. After automation, the tower's remote site made it a target for vandalism. An incident in which the tower was broken into and the lens stolen brought about the removal of a large section of the wooden spiral staircase and the sealing of the entry with a steel door. The keeper's house decayed and was torn down in 1972. The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 2, 2002 as Turkey Point Light Station. In 2000 the light was decommissioned and leased to Turkey Point Light Station (TPLS) Inc., a non-profit organization which has taken over maintenance of the structure; the group reactivated the light as a private aid to navigation in 2002. The group additionally replaced the steel ladder in the lighthouse with a new wooden spiral staircase. On weekends volunteers give tours of the lighthouse including a walk to the top. In 2006, the Coast Guard transferred ownership to the state of Maryland, which then renewed the lease to TPLS. The land around the station is today part of Elk Neck State Park.

UMBC Stadium

UMBC Stadium is a 4,500-seat stadium on the campus of UMBC in Catonsville, Maryland. The stadium opened in 1976. It is home to the UMBC Retrievers men's and women's lacrosse, field hockey, and track and field programs, as well as an alternate venue for soccer. The stadium has also hosted championships for the Northeast Conference in track and field and conference tournaments for the America East Conference in men's and women's lacrosse, as well as tryouts for US Lacrosse's team to compete in the Under-19 World Lacrosse Championships. In 2008, it also became the home field of Crystal Palace Baltimore, a professional outdoor soccer team that announced plans to become a member of the 2010 incarnation of the North American Soccer League. The NASL's launch was delayed due to a controversy between that league and the United Soccer Leagues. Eventually, the two bodies came to a temporary truce, with the United States Soccer Federation establishing a temporary league, USSF Division 2, for the 2010 season only. Crystal Palace Baltimore plays in this league for 2010. However, midway through the 2010 season, Crystal Palace Baltimore left UMBC and hopped to several different stadiums in the Baltimore area. The stadium is part of the a complex which also includes The Baseball Factory Field at UMBC and UMBC's softball stadium and is located across the street from the UMBC Event Center and Retriever Soccer Park.

USAS American Mariner

USAS American Mariner était un navire océanographique de l' United States Navy de janvier 1959 au 30 septembre 1963. La Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) l'avait affecté au DAMP Project (en) pour tenter de collecter des données de signature radar sur les missiles balistiques intercontinentaux entrants dans les Caraïbes, l’océan Atlantique sud et l’océan Indien. Ses premières opérations consistaient à fournir une piste radar sur le missile Atlas du constructeur américain Convair, en cours de développement. Par la suite, il a fourni des informations sur d’autres types de missiles au cours de leur développement et de leur phase opérationnelle. Fixé en 1941 sous le nom de Liberty SS George Calvert (MC#20), il a d'abord été mis au service de l'United States Coast Guard comme navire-école TS American Mariner jusqu'en 1953, date à laquelle il a été placé en réserve. Après sa carrière dans l’Armée, il a été transféré à l’United States Air Force le 1er octobre 1963 et a été re-désigné USAFS American Mariner. Après son service dans la force aérienne, il a été transféré à l'United States Navy le 7 janvier 1964 et désigné USNS American Mariner (T-AGM-12). Sa mission n’a pas été fondamentalement modifiée à la suite du transfert de la gestion des navires. Le 1er janvier 1966, le navire fut rayé de la liste de la marine et renvoyé pour démolition. Le 1er octobre 1966, le titre de propriété du navire a été transféré à la Marine pour son démantèlement et plus tard dans le mois, il a été sabordé dans des eaux peu profondes dans la baie de Chesapeake à l’île de Smith dans le Maryland, pour être utilisé comme navire cible. Son épave se situe aux coordonnées géographiques 38° 02′ 25″ N, 76° 09′ 17″ O Il semble avoir été le seul navire à avoir servi dans les garde-côtes américaines, l'armée américaine, l'US Air Force après avoir été construit pour servir la marine marchande américaine.

USS Torsk (SS-423)

L'USS Torsk (SS-423) est un sous-marin d'attaque américain de la classe Tench. Lancé le 6 septembre 1944, il participe à la guerre du Pacifique et torpille le 14 août 1945 le Kaibokan 47, le dernier navire de la marine impériale japonaise coulé avant la capitulation du Japon. Le Torsk est retiré du service en 1968 et devient le 26 septembre 1972 un navire musée exposé au Inner Harbor de Baltimore. Il est classé National Historic Landmark. Histoire L'USS Torsk est mis en service le 16 décembre 1944 et est un des dix sous-marins de la classe Tench à participer activement à la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il est affecté à la flotte du Pacifique et opère depuis la base de Pearl Harbor à Hawaï. Il réalise sa première patrouille du 15 avril au 16 juin 1945 puis reprend la mer du 17 juillet au 9 septembre. Au cours de cette deuxième patrouille il coule trois navires ennemis : un petit cargo le 13 août, puis deux frégates le lendemain qui seront les deux derniers navires de guerre japonais torpillés avant la fin du conflit. Après la guerre le Torsk devient un navire-école à New London tout en continuant d'être régulièrement déployé dans l'océan Atlantique et en mer Méditerranée. Dans les années 1950, il participe aux tests du missile de croisière SSM-N-8A Regulus et à la crise de 1958 au Liban, ce dernier événement lui valant une Presidential Unit Citation. En 1962, il intervient pendant la crise des missiles de Cuba et reçoit la Navy Commendation Medal. Il est retiré du service le 4 mars 1968 avec le nombre impressionnant de 10 600 plongées au cours de sa carrière. Il est transformé en navire musée à Baltimore en 1972.

USS Torsk (SS-423)

USS Torsk é um submarino da classe Tench construído para a Marinha dos Estados Unidos durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Armado com dez tubos de torpedo, os submarinos da classe Tench foram desenvolvimentos incrementais dos submarinos da classe Gato, de grande sucesso, que constituíam a força submarina da Marinha dos EUA durante a guerra. Torsk teve seu batimento de quilha no Portsmouth Navy Yard em junho de 1944, lançado em setembro daquele ano e comissionado em dezembro. Em 1945, Torsk fez duas patrulhas de guerra no Japão, afundando um navio de carga e duas fragatas de defesa costeira. O último deles, torpedeado em 14 de agosto de 1945, foi o último navio inimigo afundado pela Marinha dos Estados Unidos na Segunda Guerra Mundial. Ao longo das décadas de 1950 e 1960, ele atuou principalmente como navio-escola; ele também foi para o Mar Mediterrâneo e ajudou a treinar elementos da frota do Atlântico em táticas antissubmarinas. Descomissionado em 1964, serviu por mais sete anos como navio-escola para a Reserva Naval. Ele foi retirado de serviço pelo Naval Vessel Register em dezembro de 1971 e entregue ao estado de Maryland para ser usada como navio-museu. Ele agora faz parte da frota histórica de navios históricos em Baltimore. Origem do nome A palavra Torsk é a palavra sueca, dinamarquesa e norueguesa para bacalhau. Em norueguês, é pronunciado "toshk". Referências
