Story

Baltimore had a big problem when the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed. This bridge was important for ships to pass through. A cargo ship called the Dali hit the bridge and it fell into the river. Eight workers died in the accident. Since then, crews have been working hard to clean up the mess. Now, after two months, a cruise ship called Royal Caribbean's Vision of the Seas has left the Port of Baltimore for a trip to Bermuda. This is the first cruise ship to leave since the accident. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been working to remove the pieces of the bridge from the river. They use special tools to find and lift the steel parts. The channel where ships pass through is now 50 feet deep and 400 feet wide. This is enough space for big ships to go through one at a time. The crews are working hard to make sure the channel is fully open for all ships to pass through. The Royal Caribbean cruise ship is now at the Baltimore terminal, ready for its trip. The ship offers a unique experience on the Inner Harbor. People can enjoy celebrations, events, or just sightseeing from the water. The Port of Baltimore is happy to have ships back and running smoothly. The hard work of the crews has paid off, and things are getting back to normal.
