Final vigil held for Key Bridge collapse victims as Baltimore welcomes cruise ships back
- A final vigil was held for the victims of the Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore.
- The cargo ship Dali struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge, leading to its collapse.
- Meanwhile, efforts are being made to find a permanent home for the memorial set up in remembrance of the victims.
Sunday will be two months since the cargo ship Dali hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge, making it fall down. Progress has been made in the efforts to save the ship. A memorial was set up on Fort Armistead Road and had its final vigil on Saturday. The artist who started the memorial is now looking for a permanent place for it. Royal Caribbean's Vision of the Seas was the first cruise ship to leave the Port of Baltimore after the bridge collapse. Roberto Marquez hosted the last vigil at the memorial for the six workers who died. Families of the victims and the community have grown fond of the memorial. It has become a place for people to gather, reflect, and support each other. Maintaining the memorial has become hard, according to Marquez, who came from Texas to start it. He and others are trying to find a permanent location with the help of the Governor and Bishop Angel Nuñez. The memorial has grown from a few crosses and flags to a larger tribute. It now includes a section for the workers who died in a crash last year. A sign in Spanish and English expresses the desire to keep the memorial permanent, but challenges remain.
