I'm sorry, here's some more info on USCGC Taney:
USCGC ROGER B. TANEY WARSHIP IN BALTIMORE HARBOR
The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Roger B. Taney, named after famed Maryland Supreme Court Justice Roger B. Taney, was stationed at nearby Honolulu Harbor on December 7, 1941. After Japanese planes bombed and torpedoed American vessels, Taney immediately set out to search for Japanese submarines. Although it did not locate any, the ship received the American Defense Service Medal for the crew’s quick and courageous action.
Taney continued to defend American military operations in the South Pacific, including searching for survivors after the Battle of Midway. She defended against German submarine attacks off the coast of North Africa in 1944 and was a key vessel in the Battle of Okinawa a year later. After more than 50 years of service, Taney was decommissioned in 1986 and given to the City of Baltimore as a memorial and museum.
Over 4000 Marylanders died in World War II. A vessel like Taney is a tangible reminder of the sacrifice of men and women in our armed forces, including servicemembers from Maryland who contributed to the defense of Pearl Harbor fought in the War that followed. As such, the ship will be open to the public for Memorial Ceremony today, December 7, 2017.

The Inner Harbor used to be fabulous. The aquarium was unbelievably beautiful. Circular walls of glass with ALL kinds of fish.
However, being it's me: all I could think of was: omg, if those walls crack open, we are all dead ducks.
Of course, ducks survive rather well in water. quack, quack.
We weren't even in a casino where we could get comped if the glass walls came crashing down.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
