Narrated · Plays hands-free in Travel Mode
During the Colonial Period, this was one of the most navigable stretches of the Gunpowder Falls. A ferry operated here between 1754 and 1759. The Nottingham Forge and Gunpowder Furnace built metal products and battleship parts from 1759 to 1858, when a flood destroyed the industrial site.
