We were privileged enough to be given access to the former Bethlehem Steel property in Sparrows Point, Baltimore, MD., where it served as an industrial giant in the steel, ship and rail industries for decades. We were fortunate enough to recover many items from this industrial giant steel mill, ship and rail yard, ranging from new old stock parts to signs and other collectible ephemera. It's been an honor to play a part in the preservation of the heritage of such a prestigious American manufacturing icon, and one that played a critical role in the building of this great industrial nation, WWII, and the proud blue collar history of the city of Baltimore.
Recently on one of our trips to recover some more cool items from Bethlehem Steel we were offered up the rights to purchase a yard loaded with recently removed
cleats, bollards, chocks and capstans
that were from the shipyard that was used during the production and launching of all the ships that were produced from the Bethlehem Steels Sparrows Point location, including famous
WWII LIBERTY Cargo Ships
out of Baltimore. In January 1941, President Roosevelt announced a 0,000,000 shipbuilding program to help win World War II.  By September an emergency shipbuilding program had been launched.  Shipyards located in thirteen states were involved in a class of cargo ships called "liberty ships."  They were called liberty ships because the first one launched was the SS Patrick Henry.  The ship was launched in 1941.  During the dedication, President Roosevelt referred to Patrick Henry's phrase "Give me liberty...or give me death."  Roosevelt told America that these ships would bring liberty to Europe.  That is why they were known as Liberty ships.  The SS Patrick Henry was built by the Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyard in Maryland.

The Bethlehem Steel Corporation was founded in 1857 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and expanded its operations to Baltimore in 1916. The mill at Sparrows Point quickly eclipsed the production levels of the main
Pennsylvania
plant, and by the middle of the 20th century had been named the
largest steel mill in the world
. In addition to manufacturing the steel utilized in the building of such hallmarks of American infrastructure as the
Golden Gate
Bridge
and
Madison
Square
Garden
, Bethlehem Steel's Baltimore-based Fairfield Shipyard was responsible for building the ships that were instrumental in winning World War II. Although Sparrows Point ceased steel production for good in 2012, the plant is still fondly remembered by many of the tens of thousands of Baltimoreans it employed over the years.
This piece would be a great addition to your collection, man cave, den, shop, garage, retail or resale. It would also make a fantastic gift for someone who used to work for the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Bring back the nostalgia of the days when everything was Made In America with this unique item of industrial heritage.

About Us
Md Architectural Rescue is a different type of recycling company. We have operated in
Baltimore
and surrounding areas since 1996. After starting out rescuing fireplace mantles and cast iron door locks from construction dumpsters, we have opened our eyes to may types of waste that are often over looked and fall through the cracks. Our focus is and always will be vintage items of the highest quality. But with our eyes now open we put a lot of effort in bringing you high end collectibles from every industry available and at a very reasonable price. All our items are salvaged and are for the most part American Made. One week we could be in an old School, Brewery, Factory, and the following week at a  Shipyard or Power plant, you just never know. Also, one day we may be removing Vintage lighting, the next day Signs and Vintage blueprints and the following day cleaning out a machine shop or high end parts room. We literally have NO idea what we have coming around corner, so make sure you add us to your favorites and check back often.
We also run two additional stores. If you are looking for unique and interesting glass pieces, check out our sister site
