Description
This panorama of Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland was photographed from the deck of the Grandeur of the Seas just after the snowstorm known as the Blizzard of 2016, shrouded the grounds of the fort in more than two feet of snow. One rarely sees this much snow in Baltimore and very few have seen Ft. McHenry covered in snow from this vantage point.
Fort McHenry was built on the site of the former Fort Whetstone, which had defended Baltimore from 1776 to 1797. Fort Whetstone stood on Whetstone Point (today's residential and industrial area of Locust Point) peninsula, which juts into the opening of Baltimore Harbor between the Basin (today's Inner Harbor) and Northwest branch on the north side and the Middle and Ferry (now Southern) branches of the Patapsco River on the south side of the area known as South Baltimore.
