Baltimore harbor, War of 1812, Fort McHenry, Francis Scott Key, Oh say can you see.
The ports in NJ and NY are preparing to accept diverted Baltimore-bound ships, expecting them as soon as today. Whether or not the truck/rail infrastructure can handle the extra traffic is a concern. Incoming automobile shipments will probably need to be diverted to either Charleston, SC or Brunswick, GA's huge ro-ro port facilities, with delays in shipping them to the northeast.
FWIW, anyone with the free Pluto TV streaming app should be able to watch CBS News' Baltimore affiliate for continuous local coverage.....

Yikes. They’re getting ready to pull the trigger on an inland port in Gainesville, GA to divert trucks that are already overwhelmed in the Brunswick port. Rail everything to N Georgia to keep them off the coast. Should be interesting….
