Aside from gradually melting into the harbor and increasing its supply of guano, it hasn't changed much since the army abandoned it back around 1920. A curious factoid is that it was designed by none other than Robert E Lee in a pre-rebel army job.

There are 3 more forts...Ft. Howard, Ft. Smallwood, and Ft. Armistead. I know parts of the last 2 are still standing.

Mowjr, great shots! Is that from Canton Crossing? I've determined that Baltimore has a frankly awesome skyline! That angle shows its density and makes it look great

Yes, it's from Canton Crossing. As much as people hate the building, it has one of the best views of the city. My opinion.
