Charles Carnan Ridgely of Hampton signed this runaway notice which describes a slave named Bateman, possibly a trained house servant, about "twenty one years of age, about six feet high, lusty and well made, rather of a yellow complexion..." A full description of Bateman's clothing is given, the better quality of which might indicate that he was a house servant. Bateman had apparently "gone missing" as of Saturday night, April 23rd. The original document was given by Baltimore County Library to Hampton National Historic Site in 1991. The manuscript had been acquired from Harris Auction Gallery in Baltimore, with no prior provenance given, in the mid 1970s.

Baltimore from Federal Hill. The Maryland National Bank building of 1890 and the Continental Building to the right of it, seen here under construction, are prominent on the opposite side of the harbor. The towered Post Office of 1889 is next to the Continental Building, and the domed City Hall is visible at the right margin. Two steamboats can be identified, including the Queen Anne, built by the Queen Anne's Ferry and Equipment Co. in 1899. The steamer, seen at the left margin, was sold following the companys bankruptcy proceedings, and ended its days sometime after 1925 in New York where it was renamed the Rockaway. Across the harbor floats the Tangier, built by the Eastern Shore Steamboat Co. in 1875. The Tangier was scrapped in 1927 while under the ownership of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The names of the numerous other steamboats cannot be seen.

The tower of I.M. Pei's1967-1977 World Trade Center, 401 East Pratt Street is seen at the waters edge in the center middle distance.
By August 2006 the state was seeking to sell the center for other uses. It had suffered damage in September 2003, when Hurricane Isobel backed the Chesapeake Bay across Pratt Street and seriously flooded waterfront areas in Annapolis, Baltimore and eastern Baltimore County.
To the left of the Center, forming a low rise "L" around the harbor, is James Rouse's Harbor Place, formally opened in 1980 as a venue of stores and restaurants.
To the right of the World Trade Center, at 501 East Pratt Street, is the National Aquarium at Baltimore designed initially in 1981 by the Cambridge Seven and augmented in 1990 by Grieves, Worrall and O'Hatnick. The Jones Falls Expressway is the curving highway seen in the upper right distance.
The four chimneys of the Power Plant are seen to the right of the Aquarium.

This scene is labeled "Bowley's Wharf, 1870". It was, however, probably taken in the 1854-1858 period. This estimate is based on the known life cycle of the steamship Philadelphia seen prominently in the center middle distance.

Baltimore City is seen from Civil War-era gun emplacements positioned at Fort Federal Hill. Note that the guns include the City's commercial heart within its range and line of fire. This was a reminder that being a border state, Maryland was viewed as harboring Southern sympathies and could only be kept in line by military force.
