The BROWN Returns to Baltimore
by Joan Burke

The so-called "High Speed Rivets," good weather and perhaps a bit of an extra kick from the engineers brought the BROWN home almost a day early. Word got around and a small crowd of well-wishers were at Pier One to greet the ship and her tired but happy crew.

Even Kilroy came out. He had to leave early but he hung a banner of welcome.

• Passing under Key Bridge.
