If you run into a big, tall man with a limp, that's my Dad. He was in the merchant marines for about fourty years and was a member of the Seafarers' Union. He lived in Baltimore on Albemarle Street, above a bar called Ricky and Sadie's. He also hung out in NYC while waiting for ships at the union hall. He would go for coffee and conversation at the Stork Club in the early morning, with Sherman Billingsley, the owner, and J. Edgar Hoover and Walter Winchell. Dad was a worldly man who travelled to many places and could keep you awake all night, with stories of his adventures. Don't be afraid of his ghost...he's very sociable.
Pat Cavanaugh Awww... That reminded me of my father who was in the USAF and was a test pilot at Edwards AFB working on one of the initial C-130 Hercules cargo planes (C-130B?). I was born there, but he retired after 20+ yrs in the military and moved shortly thereafter. I was the youngest so I didn’t have any knowledge of military life or what it was like for my oldest sister and brother to go through the years when my dad went to war. He had lots of stories. I miss him.
Kitterz, my dad was also an undercover agent for the CIA. He hated drugs and wanted to do all he could to fight against them. He loved to talk politics and knew a lot more than he divulged.
Pat Cavanaugh That’s so cool (and dangerous)! My dad wanted to go on one of the Apollo missions, but they scrapped the later ones and then he aged out of the program. The only thing I can brag about was my parents regularly played Bridge with Ed White, Gus Grissom, and their wives while stationed there. My mom said Pat White was never quite the same after Ed died and she’d lost touch with Pat after she’d remarried-until she found she’d committed suicide. I know Dad wasn’t close friends with Ed White, because Ed was really athletic and worked out all the time which Dad wasn’t that way. Ed never drank either (which was the norm back then) and Dad told me drunken party stories.
Kitterz, lol... my dad told me that Sherman Billingsley, owner of the Stork Club in New York, was diagnosed with cancer, back when the "C" word was never uttered out loud. He shot himself in the head, but it was not acknowledged publicly. I didn't hear about it until the early 1960's when my dad and I were up all night, killing a jug of red wine and catching up. We had been out of touch from the time I was five until I was married with children. My husband had been in the merchant marines before we met, and he had a paper called the Seafarer's Log, from Baltimore, Md. My dad's name was on the list of Sailors in Drydock, which meant "in the hospital" so that's how I got in touch with him and we were reunited. It was truly a story for Lifetime Movie Network. I am a great-grandmother now, with a total of nine grandchildren and one on the way, which includes two great granddaughters and one great grandson due in March of next year. I have four grandsons and three granddaughters, plus the two great granddaughters and the one great grandson that's due, which makes ten altogether. The yard goes on and on..... I love the song, MacArthur Park. If you have never heard it, you should google it and you will love it.
Pat Cavanaugh I’m nowhere near being a grandmother at the moment. I have 2 teens and I’m 47 yrs old. I’ve heard the song because I was raised like a Baby Boomer. My brother and sisters were from that era My oldest sis and I are 16 yrs apart and I had children late (age 30/32), so I’m not in the grandparent league yet.😊 It’s so strange to be the youngest and to have missed out on those years. I suppose it was for the better because I had a dad that had a 9-5 job and was home on weekends. He passed away almost 5 years ago.
Went dn to my neighborhood library yesterday afternoon to check out their freebies/collection discards for a Thanksgiving read. Brought home John Peer Nugent's "White Night: the Untold Story of What Happened Before - and Beyond - Jonestown," publication date: 1979. The Jonestown massacre took place November '78.
I would probably go up to the roof and figure out how to open that glass skylight to let the red tail hawk escape and then something would go wrong and I would get hurt. Just like when I saved a dog from running into traffic and ended up falling and breaking my arm and needed 2 pins put in during surgery. Good idea to let it find it’s way out.
Its interesting, it's like someone said, "Hey, lets gather all the toilets on base and put them right here" Because leaving where they were, on an abandoned base just wasn't the right thing to do.
Great video Dan as usual. I have to say I truly admire your compassion for that hawk. Sadly most people would not think twice about him. Thank you for that too.
Great vid, been wanting to see some abandoned port or ship vids from Dan! Love the noise the plastic sheets made with the howling wind. Great shots as always Danny-boy
Tonight, Dan contemplates electricity & urinals as Will peers beyond the windowpane. But really, cool spot guys. These great old structures are failing fast. Document her before she's gone for good.
Drove by this ship dock for the last 5 years and always wondered what it was like inside before it was demolished. One of my favorite streets in Baltimore minus the potholes. Thanks Dan!
Shipping yards are notorious for asbestos and mould. My friend is a respiratory nurse in Belfast. All day long all she treats are men from the Harland and Wolff shipping yard for asbestosis and rampant lung cancer. I'm glad you're wearing masks.
Great stuff Dan as usual. You gotta do a film with Jim, Rick, and Will all together, similar to the Leakin Park film but with Another Dirty Room quality.
Woohoo get to watch all 3 of my favorite shows in one day - This is Us...AHS..............and my very fav a new Dan Bell Film it video! Happy Thanksgiving guys!
And then, to keep your shoes tied, take the loops of the bow and tie another simple knot. LOL Heck yeah, I like your idea of turning the last room into a loft!! Glass brick in the windows with a view of the container yard, floor to ceiling triple-glazed view of the water!! Plenty of light for an artist, lots of room for equipment and/or an office, plus comfortable living spaces!! I hope you're right about the building being saved!! Thanks for posting, enjoyed the video, as usual.
I'm sure the hawk got out after you left the area. You're right, Dan; they are not stupid. And looking forward to your shoe-tying tutorial next week. lol
What a beautiful building, it makes me sad to see such well built architecture just left to ruin when it could be restored into something amazing, we have lots of old steel work factories here in sheffield that are left to the same fate , loved this vid Dan 👍🏽
Hi Dan, the SS John Brown was actually built in Baltimore and launched on Labour day Sept 7th 1942. Great video but one question, how tall do you have to be to use that last set of urinals ???? they were like halfway up the wall lmao. xx
That's where they did all the resto work on the John Brown, which is parked across the harbor now and doing charter cruises and touristy things. Wonder why they left the lifeboat(s?) in the garage?
Yeah, this looks like a good candidate for conversion to Luxury Condos. The Black Mold covered areas look like a set for Stranger Things. Fuck For Peace!!! just remember to at least put on a Rubber!!
There's no place like B-More.Im from there.Theres so many cool old places there.Live in Atl now and its horrible boring as hell.Keep up the cool work guys

3:22 The S.S. John W. Brown is one of two remaining Liberty Ships. Very cool that you found one of her lifeboats.
It's often docked right near here on Clinton st.
Shhh!! Here we see an Artistic Will in his natural habitat.
I love that you care about the hawk being able to find its way out. Thanks. I took an animal person. 💕
Good hearted Soul Dan trying to figure out how to help that helpless hawk.
"Down there is Jim Jones. Not the one from Guyana." :):)
Johnny B. Good how many people got that reference? 😂
That killed me. :)
Few I'm sure.

It's shocking how many young people are clueless about history. I'm starting to meet people who've never heard of Jeffrey Dahmer.
"And down there, is Jim Jones... not the one from Guyana" Jee, thanks Dan. If you hadn't said that, I'd have thought it was the insane cult leader.
I love Dead Malls and Dirty Rooms, but I'm nonetheless a huge fan of your urbex videos. Keep it coming!
Dan Bell got some Michael Jackson action goin with them rolled up jeans.
I would probably go up to the roof and figure out how to open that glass skylight to let the red tail hawk escape and then something would go wrong and I would get hurt.

"'Fuck for peace,' that's nice" lmao
I used to go crabbing there with my Dad back in the 70's and also some of the old grain piers that are gone now.
Its interesting, it's like someone said, "Hey, lets gather all the toilets on base and put them right here" Because leaving where they were, on an abandoned base just wasn't the right thing to do.
Great video Dan as usual. I have to say I truly admire your compassion for that hawk. Sadly most people would not think twice about him. Thank you for that too.
I dialed that 800 Xerox number.. It still works!! :)
LOL!
I really enjoyed this...awesome place -- thanks for filming and sharing!!
Great vid, been wanting to see some abandoned port or ship vids from Dan! Love the noise the plastic sheets made with the howling wind. Great shots as always Danny-boy
Dan the man. Glad to see more abandoned from you. You are the king of abandoned. I have missed your videos badly.
Wow. Felt a different era through this whole video. I loved it all. Thank you.
Enjoyed the video! Good to see you and will together again...I really enjoy these types of videos. Keep them coming! 👍🏻
Tonight, Dan contemplates electricity & urinals as Will peers beyond the windowpane. But really, cool spot guys. These great old structures are failing fast. Document her before she's gone for good.
Love your videos Dan. Keep up the great work!
Drove by this ship dock for the last 5 years and always wondered what it was like inside before it was demolished. One of my favorite streets in Baltimore minus the potholes. Thanks Dan!
Very Cool Video, Thanks Dan & Will. Take Care Guys.
Dan, Thanks for the laughs and beautiful old buildings.
"Jim Jones...not the one from Guyana"..lol
This is an amazing video, love it!
I love your urban exploring videos!
Who else learned to tie their shoes today??? Good-bye velcro! 😄
You guys need to consider wearing some safer footwear.
Shipping yards are notorious for asbestos and mould. My friend is a respiratory nurse in Belfast. All day long all she treats are men from the Harland and Wolff shipping yard for asbestosis and rampant lung cancer. I'm glad you're wearing masks.
Enjoyed the video...
Have a good one..
Fully expected that car starting noise from the last time you approached an abandoned car hahaha. Thanks for the video Dan. Always a pleasure :)
Loved this video! Will is so adorable, isn't he? I liked the shot of the light switch...showed so much texture.
That poor bird! Loved the video!! I miss that laugh of yours Dan!
You and Will never disappoint! Ya'll make me laugh every freaking time I watch and I thank you for that!
Keep up the great work dan bell
YAYYY....Dan is Back!!Its SO much better when you have Will with you...Yall make a Great Team!
nice to see an abandoned building that has held up so well!
1:25 Damn I thought it was a homeless man trying to hide from you :p
Of all the things that happen in Baltimore, it wouldn't surprise me if it was.
It startled me too, but then it did the opposite effect when I realized it was William. Then I felt more relaxed.
Finally an abandoned video
Glad you two filmed this when you did, as it has now been demolished.
Great video as usual Dan! Loved the vibe and feel of this one. Poor hawk though. :( Hope she found her way out of there.
We love the urban exploration videos!
Dan Bell Film It for life!
Thanks Dan the Man!!!!!!!
Finally an abandoned video is up! I find the dirty rooms are all the same imo
Love these,thanks Dan ☺️
love you both! shared and liked and so on...did it all...stay true!
Awesome site to explore Dan great video I too hope the Hawk got out anyhow have a cracking Sunday your end brother ✌️💛💚❤️🍻
Great stuff Dan as usual. You gotta do a film with Jim, Rick, and Will all together, similar to the Leakin Park film but with Another Dirty Room quality.
DAN! I love the new vid! Good to see Jim on site again.
Welcome Back Dan 🤗
Woohoo get to watch all 3 of my favorite shows in one day - This is Us...AHS..............and my very fav a new Dan Bell Film it video! Happy Thanksgiving guys!
Really enjoyed this! Dan, you are a tender heart. Hope "Mr. Hawk" found a way out. Damn, I felt bad 🙁
YOU CANT STOP ME LIKING IT
And then, to keep your shoes tied, take the loops of the bow and tie another simple knot. LOL
Heck yeah, I like your idea of turning the last room into a loft!! Glass brick in the windows with a view of the container yard, floor to ceiling triple-glazed view of the water!!

Thanks for posting, enjoyed the video, as usual.
Alright I love your urbex videos. I hope you'll make more soon.
I'm sure the hawk got out after you left the area. You're right, Dan; they are not stupid. And looking forward to your shoe-tying tutorial next week. lol
No next week he's going to teach us guys the finer art of tying a bow tie inside an abandoned ballroom.
Love it dan
Your concern for the hawk being possibly trapped makes me like you that much more!
That's why I wear old-school jump-boots with the laces tucked in, don't have to worry about them coming undone.
What a beautiful building, it makes me sad to see such well built architecture just left to ruin when it could be restored into something amazing, we have lots of old steel work factories here in sheffield that are left to the same fate , loved this vid Dan 👍🏽
I bet this ship dock is full of asbestos and lead paint, just as the boats of the same era… Not a very safe place to build a new condo out of.
Great location and video! Definitely could’ve went on the main channel.
AWESOME PLACE
We love will!
When you tied your shoes, you forgot to mention about the Rabbit Ears :)
The fenced off government area may have been a customs warehouse at one time.
2:50 Thank you Mr. Rogers for that info
lol, Will cracked me up at the ending :D
Wow, that’s crazy. Who would’ve expected 1970’s graffiti?
Hi Dan, the SS John Brown was actually built in Baltimore and launched on Labour day Sept 7th 1942. Great video but one question, how tall do you have to be to use that last set of urinals ???? they were like halfway up the wall lmao. xx
Wow... looks like you guys stepped into Silent Hill. Very cool.
The 'M/S Ockenfeld' written on the wall at the start referred to a German freighter that operated from 1956-1977
Ok shared to friends and Facebook
Those buildings are loaded with asbestos dust
All new Polaroids in my shop! Go check them out!

Dan Bell / Film It
Incredible video Dan-O
Proud of you
that dock was used for Vietnam war loading dock for Naval ships!!
Dan Bell / Film It. You should get jim on another dirty room!
That's where they did all the resto work on the John Brown, which is parked across the harbor now and doing charter cruises and touristy things. Wonder why they left the lifeboat(s?) in the garage?
what you were saying at the end is pretty much what they did with Fort Point in Boston
Yeah, this looks like a good candidate for conversion to Luxury Condos. The Black Mold covered areas look like a set for Stranger Things. Fuck For Peace!!! just remember to at least put on a Rubber!!
Nice Shoe-torial! :P
I miss you Em.
youngsoldier93 did something happen?
Bus in 19 minutes and this is 20 minutes long, I've got time.
Love wills hoodie
13:17 . . . Bet they peed from up there!
There's no place like B-More.Im from there.Theres so many cool old places there.Live in Atl now and its horrible boring as hell.Keep up the cool work guys
I felt bad for the hawk.
"Our sturdy little hawk is watching from the sky..."
he ain't now
(people who live in Iowa will get this reference)
u neeed to call the fish and wildlife services there to see if they can rescue the hawk
John Brown is a museum ship that still operates out of Baltimore. I am guessing they are storing one of their lifeboats there.
O my goodness it's will!
Dan Bell shoe ASMR
You can call a wild bird sanctuary and they should be able to help.
At 1:27, I thought "Artistc Will" (please whisper that as you read it) had a kitten sitting on his camera!
I never go to that place but my dad has because my dad’s from Baltimore Maryland and I am but I’ve still never heard of it
Yea!
"Fuck for peace" thats nice!!
El Cott Pump, my favoritest of the Mexican super heros
That plastic blowing around is creepy AF!!
That ship is huge
Crossroads Mall in OKC would be interesting. I grew up going there and then watched it die out.
Ok so nobody is going to make a comment about your turned up cuffs on your jeans ?
look well kept compared to other places and lol shoe shot by will
