BALTIMORE — Fleet Week is a celebration of military power and service in the skies and seas, and it is also about giving the public access to vessels they may never otherwise get to see.
WJZ Investigator Mike Hellgren traveled on the U.S.S. Fort Lauderdale as the Navy ship made its way to Locust Point and passed through the site of the Key Bridge collapse.
Poignant tribute at Key Bridge collapse site
The vessel passed through the Fort McHenry channel and the site of the Key Bridge collapse.
The channel was just cleared to expand to its full width this week —allowing easy passage—as members of the Navy stood at attention.
The support pillars that once held the Key Bridge remained visible as did the the Dali, the ship that caused the disaster, which remains docked at Seagirt and is still stacked with cargo.
