Pride of Baltimore II
“Perhaps the most beautiful vessel that ever floated on the ocean … she sat as light & buoyant on the water as a graceful swan, & it required but very little imagination to feel that she was about to leave her watery element & fly into the clear, blue sky. She is truly the pride of Baltimore.” — Niles’ Weekly Register, April 15, 1815, reporting on CHASSEUR’s return to Baltimore.
