I wonder. Does anyone have info on 02MD Hale Sea Port Base? From what I can tell, it is/was located in the port of Baltimore. It's not the same as Baltimore Municipal, which was a big Clipper base.

Chris, After a couple days of searching: The geo-coordinates for 02MD (from worldaerodata.com) place it at the same location as the present day 4MD-Pier 7 Heliport. (activated in Sept., 2006) @ 39* 16.250' N 76* 34.333' W This is approx. 3 mi. NW of Baltimore Municipal, circa 1930's.  I could not find any direct reference, but I believe the name 'Hale Sea Port Base' is connected to present day Baltimore business man, Edwin F. Hale Sr.. One of his businesses, Hale Properties LLC, is located just north of the bulk tanks that are adjacent to 4MD. Amongst other ventures, Hale has dealt in sales and management of commercial/industrial water front properties. Dave |

Good detective work. Thanks!
I looked at Google too. I wonder if that abandoned dock was it?
I'm off to build an AFCAD for it.
