The second largest port in the United States (just behind New York City), Baltimore, Maryland services over-two thirds of the Eastern Seaboard in shipping and industry and has been doing so for over 300 years. That much traffic means plenty of maritime workers – and if you’ve suffered a maritime injury while working or boating in Baltimore, you need an experienced maritime lawyer like Dennis O’Bryan.
Baltimore Maritime Accident Information
The varied nature of shipments arriving at and departing from Baltimore means there’s plenty of opportunity for accidents. Recent maritime accidents in the Baltimore harbor have involved both onboard accidents as well as ship-to-shore accidents such as collisions with hardware (cranes, towers) or even the harbor itself, as the constant traffic and tricky navigation combine to create any number of maritime workplace hazards. Maryland was ranked ninth in the nation in boating & maritime accidents as of 2014 with over 100 reported accidents resulting in at least 14 deaths.
Baltimore Fishing & Recreational Boating
But despite all of the commercial boats passing through the harbor, Baltimore still has plenty of space for more recreational activities. The state of Maryland sports 8 state parks with their own lakes and harbors for 
pleasure boating, many connected to the shores of Baltimore. If you’re looking for a challenge, Baltimore has more than enough fishing tours and groups to pick from. Or maybe you’re more into recreational boating – you’ve got plenty of yacht clubs and leisure tours to pick from, and you can even take a water taxi through the city to get to where you’re going.
