The Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse is the oldest of the screw-pile Chesapeake Bay lighthouses, built in 1855. It was moved to solid ground in a pedestrian area of Baltimore harbor from a rocky knoll out in the harbor at the mouth of the Patapsco River.

This morning the container ship Dali collided with a support of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, and brought the entire bridge down. There were people on the bridge at the time, several of which are still unaccounted for as I write this Key stuff on the timeline: 1:22 - The ship goes dark 3:00 - Actual collision begins 5:38 - bridge collapses

Rescuers are searching for at least seven people in the water after a ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday, causing the bridge to collapse and sending people into the frigid water, Baltimore City Fire Department Chief James Wallace said during a news conference Tuesday morning. Two people were pulled from the Patapsco River, Wallace said. One person wasn’t injured and the other was taken to a local trauma center in “very serious condition,” Wallace said. Several vehicles are believed to have fallen into the water, including one as large as a tractor-trailer, said Kevin Cartwright, director of communications of the Baltimore City Fire Department.

After bridge collapse, Maryland governor urges Congress to pass funding for rebuild (Reuters)

WASHINGTON, March 31 (Reuters) - With efforts underway to clean up thousands of tons of steel debris from the collapsed bridge in Baltimore's harbor, Maryland Governor Wes Moore on Sunday urged Republicans to work with Democrats to approve the federal funding needed for rebuilding the bridge and to get the port economy back on its feet.

Baltimore's Francis Scott Key bridge collapsed early on Tuesday morning, killing six road workers, when a container ship nearly the size of the Eiffel Tower lost power and crashed into a support pylon. Much of the span crashed into the Patapsco River, blocking the Port of Baltimore's shipping channel.

The Biden administration released $60 million in initial emergency aid on Thursday to assist in cleaning up the bridge debris and reopening the port, which is the largest in the U.S. for "roll-on, roll-off" vehicle imports and exports of farm and construction equipment. The port has been closed since Tuesday, leaving in limbo the jobs of some 15,000 people who rely on its daily operations.

Federal officials have told Maryland lawmakers the final cost of rebuilding the bridge could soar to at least $2 billion, Roll Call reported, citing a source familiar with the discussions.

Democratic President Joe Biden has pledged that the federal government will cover the cost, but that will depend on passage of legislation authorizing the funds by both the Republican-led House of Representatives and Democratic-led Senate. The divided Congress has been repeatedly riven by partisan battles over funding, with hardline Republicans often at odds even with members of their own party.
