BALTIMORE, WORLD PORT à Baltimore is one of the five major North Atlantic ports of the United States and it is often described as the most southern of the northern ports, the most northern of the southern ports and the most western of the eastern ports. The port actually predates the city. Baltimore became an import port and trading center during the Revolutionary War and achieved international recognition in the eighteenth century when its speedy Clippers were bringing coffee from South America, tea from China and slaves from Africa. In the last 25 years, it has developed into one of the world's great ports. Today, the port and its closely allied facilities is the largest single industry in Baltimore, sixth largest city of the United States.
