If you run into a big, tall man with a limp, that's my Dad. He was in the merchant marines for about fourty years and was a member of the Seafarers' Union. He lived in Baltimore on Albemarle Street, above a bar called Ricky and Sadie's. He also hung out in NYC while waiting for ships at the union hall. He would go for coffee and conversation at the Stork Club in the early morning, with Sherman Billingsley, the owner, and J. Edgar Hoover and Walter Winchell. Dad was a worldly man who travelled to many places and could keep you awake all night, with stories of his adventures. Don't be afraid of his ghost...he's very sociable.
Pat Cavanaugh Awww... That reminded me of my father who was in the USAF and was a test pilot at Edwards AFB working on one of the initial C-130 Hercules cargo planes (C-130B?). I was born there, but he retired after 20+ yrs in the military and moved shortly thereafter. I was the youngest so I didn’t have any knowledge of military life or what it was like for my oldest sister and brother to go through the years when my dad went to war. He had lots of stories. I miss him.
Kitterz, my dad was also an undercover agent for the CIA. He hated drugs and wanted to do all he could to fight against them. He loved to talk politics and knew a lot more than he divulged.
Pat Cavanaugh That’s so cool (and dangerous)! My dad wanted to go on one of the Apollo missions, but they scrapped the later ones and then he aged out of the program. The only thing I can brag about was my parents regularly played Bridge with Ed White, Gus Grissom, and their wives while stationed there. My mom said Pat White was never quite the same after Ed died and she’d lost touch with Pat after she’d remarried-until she found she’d committed suicide. I know Dad wasn’t close friends with Ed White, because Ed was really athletic and worked out all the time which Dad wasn’t that way. Ed never drank either (which was the norm back then) and Dad told me drunken party stories.
Kitterz, lol... my dad told me that Sherman Billingsley, owner of the Stork Club in New York, was diagnosed with cancer, back when the "C" word was never uttered out loud. He shot himself in the head, but it was not acknowledged publicly. I didn't hear about it until the early 1960's when my dad and I were up all night, killing a jug of red wine and catching up. We had been out of touch from the time I was five until I was married with children. My husband had been in the merchant marines before we met, and he had a paper called the Seafarer's Log, from Baltimore, Md. My dad's name was on the list of Sailors in Drydock, which meant "in the hospital" so that's how I got in touch with him and we were reunited. It was truly a story for Lifetime Movie Network. I am a great-grandmother now, with a total of nine grandchildren and one on the way, which includes two great granddaughters and one great grandson due in March of next year. I have four grandsons and three granddaughters, plus the two great granddaughters and the one great grandson that's due, which makes ten altogether. The yard goes on and on..... I love the song, MacArthur Park. If you have never heard it, you should google it and you will love it.
Pat Cavanaugh I’m nowhere near being a grandmother at the moment. I have 2 teens and I’m 47 yrs old. I’ve heard the song because I was raised like a Baby Boomer. My brother and sisters were from that era My oldest sis and I are 16 yrs apart and I had children late (age 30/32), so I’m not in the grandparent league yet.😊 It’s so strange to be the youngest and to have missed out on those years. I suppose it was for the better because I had a dad that had a 9-5 job and was home on weekends. He passed away almost 5 years ago.
Great video Dan as usual. I have to say I truly admire your compassion for that hawk. Sadly most people would not think twice about him. Thank you for that too.
Drove by this ship dock for the last 5 years and always wondered what it was like inside before it was demolished. One of my favorite streets in Baltimore minus the potholes. Thanks Dan!
Great vid, been wanting to see some abandoned port or ship vids from Dan! Love the noise the plastic sheets made with the howling wind. Great shots as always Danny-boy
Went dn to my neighborhood library yesterday afternoon to check out their freebies/collection discards for a Thanksgiving read. Brought home John Peer Nugent's "White Night: the Untold Story of What Happened Before - and Beyond - Jonestown," publication date: 1979. The Jonestown massacre took place November '78.
I would probably go up to the roof and figure out how to open that glass skylight to let the red tail hawk escape and then something would go wrong and I would get hurt. Just like when I saved a dog from running into traffic and ended up falling and breaking my arm and needed 2 pins put in during surgery. Good idea to let it find it’s way out.
Tonight, Dan contemplates electricity & urinals as Will peers beyond the windowpane. But really, cool spot guys. These great old structures are failing fast. Document her before she's gone for good.
What a beautiful building, it makes me sad to see such well built architecture just left to ruin when it could be restored into something amazing, we have lots of old steel work factories here in sheffield that are left to the same fate , loved this vid Dan 👍🏽
And then, to keep your shoes tied, take the loops of the bow and tie another simple knot. LOL Heck yeah, I like your idea of turning the last room into a loft!! Glass brick in the windows with a view of the container yard, floor to ceiling triple-glazed view of the water!! Plenty of light for an artist, lots of room for equipment and/or an office, plus comfortable living spaces!! I hope you're right about the building being saved!! Thanks for posting, enjoyed the video, as usual.
Great stuff Dan as usual. You gotta do a film with Jim, Rick, and Will all together, similar to the Leakin Park film but with Another Dirty Room quality.
Shipping yards are notorious for asbestos and mould. My friend is a respiratory nurse in Belfast. All day long all she treats are men from the Harland and Wolff shipping yard for asbestosis and rampant lung cancer. I'm glad you're wearing masks.
Its interesting, it's like someone said, "Hey, lets gather all the toilets on base and put them right here" Because leaving where they were, on an abandoned base just wasn't the right thing to do.
I'm sure the hawk got out after you left the area. You're right, Dan; they are not stupid. And looking forward to your shoe-tying tutorial next week. lol
Hi Dan, the SS John Brown was actually built in Baltimore and launched on Labour day Sept 7th 1942. Great video but one question, how tall do you have to be to use that last set of urinals ???? they were like halfway up the wall lmao. xx
Woohoo get to watch all 3 of my favorite shows in one day - This is Us...AHS..............and my very fav a new Dan Bell Film it video! Happy Thanksgiving guys!
That's where they did all the resto work on the John Brown, which is parked across the harbor now and doing charter cruises and touristy things. Wonder why they left the lifeboat(s?) in the garage?
There's no place like B-More.Im from there.Theres so many cool old places there.Live in Atl now and its horrible boring as hell.Keep up the cool work guys
Yeah, this looks like a good candidate for conversion to Luxury Condos. The Black Mold covered areas look like a set for Stranger Things. Fuck For Peace!!! just remember to at least put on a Rubber!!
TFW I only just recently figured out how to tie a shoelace after wearing velcro for five years. (feelsgoodman.png). But seriously, those lifeboats are cool. If they belong to the city, they should use them for community activities. Races, tours, that sort of thing. Nice shoes, btw.

3:22 The S.S. John W. Brown is one of two remaining Liberty Ships. Very cool that you found one of her lifeboats.
It's often docked right near here on Clinton st.
Shhh!! Here we see an Artistic Will in his natural habitat.
I love that you care about the hawk being able to find its way out. Thanks. I took an animal person. 💕
Great video Dan as usual. I have to say I truly admire your compassion for that hawk. Sadly most people would not think twice about him. Thank you for that too.
I love Dead Malls and Dirty Rooms, but I'm nonetheless a huge fan of your urbex videos. Keep it coming!
Dan the man. Glad to see more abandoned from you. You are the king of abandoned. I have missed your videos badly.
Good hearted Soul Dan trying to figure out how to help that helpless hawk.
I really enjoyed this...awesome place -- thanks for filming and sharing!!
Drove by this ship dock for the last 5 years and always wondered what it was like inside before it was demolished. One of my favorite streets in Baltimore minus the potholes. Thanks Dan!
Dan Bell got some Michael Jackson action goin with them rolled up jeans.
Great vid, been wanting to see some abandoned port or ship vids from Dan! Love the noise the plastic sheets made with the howling wind. Great shots as always Danny-boy
Wow. Felt a different era through this whole video. I loved it all. Thank you.
nice to see an abandoned building that has held up so well!
"Down there is Jim Jones. Not the one from Guyana." :):)
Johnny B. Good how many people got that reference? 😂
That killed me. :)
Few I'm sure.
Went dn to my neighborhood library yesterday afternoon to check out their freebies/collection discards for a Thanksgiving read. Brought home John Peer Nugent's "White Night: the Untold Story of What Happened Before - and Beyond - Jonestown," publication date: 1979. The Jonestown massacre took place November '78.
It's shocking how many young people are clueless about history. I'm starting to meet people who've never heard of Jeffrey Dahmer.
I would probably go up to the roof and figure out how to open that glass skylight to let the red tail hawk escape and then something would go wrong and I would get hurt. Just like when I saved a dog from running into traffic and ended up falling and breaking my arm and needed 2 pins put in during surgery. Good idea to let it find it’s way out.
Fully expected that car starting noise from the last time you approached an abandoned car hahaha. Thanks for the video Dan. Always a pleasure :)
Loved this video! Will is so adorable, isn't he? I liked the shot of the light switch...showed so much texture.
YAYYY....Dan is Back!!Its SO much better when you have Will with you...Yall make a Great Team!
That poor bird! Loved the video!! I miss that laugh of yours Dan!
Tonight, Dan contemplates electricity & urinals as Will peers beyond the windowpane. But really, cool spot guys. These great old structures are failing fast. Document her before she's gone for good.
Dan, Thanks for the laughs and beautiful old buildings.
Glad you two filmed this when you did, as it has now been demolished.
Dan Bell Film It for life!
I used to go crabbing there with my Dad back in the 70's and also some of the old grain piers that are gone now.
Enjoyed the video! Good to see you and will together again...I really enjoy these types of videos. Keep them coming! 👍🏻
I dialed that 800 Xerox number.. It still works!! :)
LOL!
What a beautiful building, it makes me sad to see such well built architecture just left to ruin when it could be restored into something amazing, we have lots of old steel work factories here in sheffield that are left to the same fate , loved this vid Dan 👍🏽
I bet this ship dock is full of asbestos and lead paint, just as the boats of the same era… Not a very safe place to build a new condo out of.
And then, to keep your shoes tied, take the loops of the bow and tie another simple knot. LOL

Thanks for posting, enjoyed the video, as usual.
2:50 Thank you Mr. Rogers for that info
Great stuff Dan as usual. You gotta do a film with Jim, Rick, and Will all together, similar to the Leakin Park film but with Another Dirty Room quality.
DAN! I love the new vid! Good to see Jim on site again.
Shipping yards are notorious for asbestos and mould. My friend is a respiratory nurse in Belfast. All day long all she treats are men from the Harland and Wolff shipping yard for asbestosis and rampant lung cancer. I'm glad you're wearing masks.
Really enjoyed this! Dan, you are a tender heart. Hope "Mr. Hawk" found a way out. Damn, I felt bad 🙁
Its interesting, it's like someone said, "Hey, lets gather all the toilets on base and put them right here" Because leaving where they were, on an abandoned base just wasn't the right thing to do.
"'Fuck for peace,' that's nice" lmao
YOU CANT STOP ME LIKING IT
Your concern for the hawk being possibly trapped makes me like you that much more!
You and Will never disappoint! Ya'll make me laugh every freaking time I watch and I thank you for that!
I love your urban exploring videos!
I'm sure the hawk got out after you left the area. You're right, Dan; they are not stupid. And looking forward to your shoe-tying tutorial next week. lol
No next week he's going to teach us guys the finer art of tying a bow tie inside an abandoned ballroom.
Very Cool Video, Thanks Dan & Will. Take Care Guys.
Finally an abandoned video is up! I find the dirty rooms are all the same imo
Love these,thanks Dan ☺️
We love the urban exploration videos!
Hi Dan, the SS John Brown was actually built in Baltimore and launched on Labour day Sept 7th 1942. Great video but one question, how tall do you have to be to use that last set of urinals ???? they were like halfway up the wall lmao. xx
At 1:27, I thought "Artistc Will" (please whisper that as you read it) had a kitten sitting on his camera!
Keep up the great work dan bell
Great location and video! Definitely could’ve went on the main channel.
Finally an abandoned video
Woohoo get to watch all 3 of my favorite shows in one day - This is Us...AHS..............and my very fav a new Dan Bell Film it video! Happy Thanksgiving guys!
When you tied your shoes, you forgot to mention about the Rabbit Ears :)
Welcome Back Dan 🤗
Love your videos Dan. Keep up the great work!
Wow... looks like you guys stepped into Silent Hill. Very cool.
Enjoyed the video...
Have a good one..
Awesome site to explore Dan great video I too hope the Hawk got out anyhow have a cracking Sunday your end brother ✌️💛💚❤️🍻
Alright I love your urbex videos. I hope you'll make more soon.
1:25 Damn I thought it was a homeless man trying to hide from you :p
Of all the things that happen in Baltimore, it wouldn't surprise me if it was.
It startled me too, but then it did the opposite effect when I realized it was William. Then I felt more relaxed.
This is an amazing video, love it!
That's where they did all the resto work on the John Brown, which is parked across the harbor now and doing charter cruises and touristy things. Wonder why they left the lifeboat(s?) in the garage?
You guys need to consider wearing some safer footwear.
Pause 7:54 right around their is where the carnival cruise ship comes in.
love you both! shared and liked and so on...did it all...stay true!
Thanks Dan the Man!!!!!!!
The fenced off government area may have been a customs warehouse at one time.
The 'M/S Ockenfeld' written on the wall at the start referred to a German freighter that operated from 1956-1977
John Brown is a museum ship that still operates out of Baltimore. I am guessing they are storing one of their lifeboats there.
"Jim Jones...not the one from Guyana"..lol
"And down there, is Jim Jones... not the one from Guyana" Jee, thanks Dan. If you hadn't said that, I'd have thought it was the insane cult leader.
We love will!
Great video as usual Dan! Loved the vibe and feel of this one. Poor hawk though. :( Hope she found her way out of there.
13:17 . . . Bet they peed from up there!
what you were saying at the end is pretty much what they did with Fort Point in Boston
That's why I wear old-school jump-boots with the laces tucked in, don't have to worry about them coming undone.
Do you know what kind of dock this was? Like a dry-dock or just a regular one? Good subject though, unusual but interesting.
u neeed to call the fish and wildlife services there to see if they can rescue the hawk
Those buildings are loaded with asbestos dust
There's no place like B-More.Im from there.Theres so many cool old places there.Live in Atl now and its horrible boring as hell.Keep up the cool work guys
O my goodness it's will!
I miss you Em.
youngsoldier93 did something happen?
Wow, that’s crazy. Who would’ve expected 1970’s graffiti?
1:00 OMG SOMEONES HIDING BEHIND THAT CAR
Could that be where the COMFORT was docked until a couple years ago when it was moved to Norfolk?
Who else learned to tie their shoes today??? Good-bye velcro! 😄
AWESOME PLACE
Ok shared to friends and Facebook
Why is everything in Baltimore abandoned?!?!
Crossroads Mall in OKC would be interesting. I grew up going there and then watched it die out.
look well kept compared to other places and lol shoe shot by will
Love it dan
Yeah, this looks like a good candidate for conversion to Luxury Condos. The Black Mold covered areas look like a set for Stranger Things. Fuck For Peace!!! just remember to at least put on a Rubber!!
TFW I only just recently figured out how to tie a shoelace after wearing velcro for five years. (feelsgoodman.png).
But seriously, those lifeboats are cool. If they belong to the city, they should use them for community activities. Races, tours, that sort of thing.
Nice shoes, btw.
Love wills hoodie
I never go to that place but my dad has because my dad’s from Baltimore Maryland and I am but I’ve still never heard of it
Nice Shoe-torial! :P
That ship is huge
Bus in 19 minutes and this is 20 minutes long, I've got time.
I felt bad for the hawk.
"Our sturdy little hawk is watching from the sky..."
he ain't now
(people who live in Iowa will get this reference)
Ok so nobody is going to make a comment about your turned up cuffs on your jeans ?
Dan Bell shoe ASMR
