When deciding on a new name for this local gem, owner David Tobash wanted to harness a connection to the City itself. After much research, and a few tears, our Crew decided on "The Chasseur." Named after the most successful merchant ship during the War of 1812 and built by the citizens of Baltimore, this ship earned its better known nickname, "The Pride of Baltimore," on Her return to Fells Point on March 15, 1815.
Chasseur [sha-sur] ~ The Original "Pride of Baltimore"
One of the most famous of the American privateers was Captain Thomas Boyle, who sailed his Baltimore Clipper, Chasseur, out of Fells Point, where she had been launched from Thomas Kemp's shipyard in 1812. On his first voyage as master of Chasseur in 1814, Boyle unexpectedly sailed east, directly to the British Isles, where he unmercifully harassed the British merchant fleet. In a characteristically audacious act, he sent a notice to the King by way of a captured merchant vessel that he had released for the purpose. The notice, he commanded, was to be posted on the door of Lloyd's of London, the famous shipping underwriters. In it he declared that the entire British Isles were under naval blockade by Chasseur alone! This affront sent the shipping community into panic and caused the Admiralty to call vessels home from the American war to guard merchant ships which had to sail in convoys. In all, Chasseur captured or sank 17 vessels before returning home.
On Chasseur's triumphal return to Baltimore on March 25, 1815, the Niles Weekly Register dubbed the ship, her captain, and crew the "pride of Baltimore" for their daring exploits.

Sascha A. asked:Ok Baltimore people, I need your help... My mom is coming into town for the weekend and I am looking for a good place to go to dinner on Sat night somewhere in Baltimore. It can't be a seafood place ( I am allergic) and needs to have something on the menu my kid will also eat ( like a decent burger or something on the menu) Not looking to break the bank but doesn't have to be cheap eats either. Oh and did I mention my mom is a food editor? Go!!!
