The historic sailing vessel Pride of Baltimore, (L), fires a cannon salute to the Carnival Pride after it emerged from under the Francis Scott Key bridge en route to the Port of Baltimore April 27, 2009, in Baltimore, Maryland. The Carnival Pride is the first ever cruise ship to be based year-round in Baltimore. Port officials anticipate the 960-foot-long liner will carry some 115,000 passengers a year and provide an annual economic impact of $152 million, generating some 1,550 jobs within Maryland. Carnival Pride's itineraries include voyages to the Bahamas, eastern Caribbean and Florida. [Agencies]
