"We passed many shallow creekes, but the first we found Navigable
for a ship, we called Bolus (Patapsco), for that the clay in
many places under the clifts by the high water marke, did grow
up in red and white knots as gum out of trees."
- Captain John Smith, 1608 Today ships are a common sight on the Patapsco River, which is home to one of the top ports in the world, the Baltimore Harbor.
