It was started in 1972 and completed in 1977. Wes Moore was born in 1978, so he could have crossed it when he was young.

I was going to ask if they saw a different Mayor than I did, the one I saw looked pretty "young".
Wes Moore, the Governor of Maryland, is 45. Brandon Scott, the Mayor of Baltimore, is 39.

A TV commentator who's a pleasure boater had an interesting comment. He said that possibly being out of the center of the channel the ship could have been into the mud on the bottom. If so that would have made it doubly hard to change directions. Probably several factors involved. Anyhoo, the details will eventually come out.
From Reuters:
"What do we know about the ship that was involved?
The Dali was leaving Baltimore en route to Colombo, Sri Lanka. All 22 crew, including two pilots on board, have been accounted for and there were no injuries, the ship’s manager, Synergy Marine Group said.
The registered owner of the Singapore- flagged ship is Grace Ocean Pte Ltd, LSEG data show. The ship measures 948 feet – as long as three football fields placed end to end – and was stacked high with containers.
The ship can hold up to 10,000 twenty- foot equivalent unit, or TEU, a measure of cargo capacity. It was carrying 4,679 TEU.
The same ship was involved in an incident in the port of Antwerp, Belgium, in 2016, when it hit a quay as it tried to exit the North Sea container terminal.
A later inspection in June 2023 carried out in San Antonio in Chile found the vessel had “propulsion and auxiliary machinery” deficiencies, according to data on the public Equasis website, which provides information on ships."

Ehh, young whippersnappers. I'm older'n both of 'em
All evidence points to it being an accident.
Would-be conspiracy posts and replies deleted.
If your day is so slow, please go light folks up on some other website, not here.

Exactly. A rudder needs a certain volume of water flowing past it to work otherwise it becomes ineffective at slower speeds.

THANK YOU!
I have never driven 1000' ships but I have driven 505' and 445' ships.
That will be answered in a couple of yrs when the investigation report is released. Anything else is armchair QB'ing.
It looked also like a direct impact from the pics I have seen. The bulbus bow would have impacted the underwater structure about the same time the bullnose was impacting. Not sure how beefy something would need to be to withstand that kind of weight at 8kts.
