Baltimore (Inner Harbor), Maryland

Mother and Daughter Quacking while touring on Ride the Duck in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. This photo was from 3 years ago when we went to Baltimore for the first time. The Duck is an amphibious vehicle, from World War II; updated for tourism in cities around the country. You get a nice over view of the area on land and on sea. The Captain gives you history and points out areas of interest. After your tour on The Duck, you can decide what you’d like to go back and see in more detail. The tour began on Light Street in The Inner Harbor, went through Fells Point, and Little Italy then entered the water. Everyone gets a quacker to wear and blow calling attention to the tour as you meander through the downtown streets. The second photo is us entering the water. The 3rd photo is Seven Foot Knoll Light. This historic lighthouse has a long and interesting history from the early 1800’s. You can tour the lighthouse and learn all about the families that lived and worked there, the live saving mission, and

how it was moved to it’s current location. The lighthouse is now owned and operated by The Baltimore Maritime Museum located on Pier 5. We passed a very historic graveyard (where Poe is buried) , the first Washington Memorial and many other interesting areas. The Duck Tour in Baltimore has since closed down. I’m not sure why or when. However, one can still use the water taxi’s to see the sights from the water, and there are still Duck tours in other cities (San Francisco, Newport, Branson, and Philadelphia) you might enjoy. So, while you can’t enjoy this specific tour; I do highly recommend this as a good family, all age appropriate adventure. You can order your tickets on line, or call ahead. Quack Quack
