The blog of Markeroni, the Gentle Art of Landmark-Snarfing

All things must eventually end, including our trip along Route 1.

Before we made the 5 ½ hour trip back to Raleigh, we spent the morning and early afternoon in and around the Inner Harbor area of Baltimore. As a Yankee fan, I was definitely into getting a picture of Babe Ruth’s birthplace, which is now a museum.

We then made our way to the water to tour three ships, all of whom are national landmarks.

The U.S.S. Constellation, completed in 1854, is the last pure sailing ship built by the U.S. Navy. The U.S.C.G. Taney was the last surviving ship from the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Overall, it was a great trip. If you count the new marker we unexpectedly ran into on U.S. 1 in North Carolina as we headed back today, we picked up snarfs in seven states and one Canadian province. We logged 2,343 miles in the rental.

To simplify things, I’m going to post here at the end some of the pictures we shot today

The first shot is of a statue of Babe Ruth at Camden Yards.
The second shot is of a Maryland state marker about wrestling.
The third shot is of the U.S.S. Constellation.
The fourth shot is of the U.S.C.G. Taney.
The final shot is of the Phoenix Shot Tower, which was the tallest structure in the U.S. between 1828-1846.
