In my own video below she can be seen heading towards the Key bride. This is an unusual vantage point for me as I am usually on the other side of the bridge when doing photos and videos of ships. I was on board my friend Mike’s boat (owner of the Baltimore & Chesapeake Bay Ship Watchers Facebook group).
