Marc Van Camp's day job is chief financial officer for Bindagraphics. But he volunteers as The Sun's nautical correspondent in Crossroads Business Park in Southwest Baltimore, monitoring the maritime traffic just as Helen Delich Bentley used to cover the Port of Baltimore for the paper. Of course, there are no docks, cranes, berths or water at Crossroads. But that doesn't stop people from dumping boats there along with trash and busted furniture.
The Sun first reported on the latest Crossroads boat in January. Finally, after some crossed semaphors with the city, Van Camp sends this dispatch:
For Crossroads denizens, not even Lord Nelson or Admiral Dewey ever spoke more stirring words.
