@forgottenmidatlantic: Remember Sparrows Point? Once the Largest Steel Mill in the World If you grew up in Baltimore, you remember Sparrows Point. Bethlehem Steel's mill there had 10 blast furnaces, stretched 4 miles end to end and employed 30,000 workers in the 1950s, the largest steel mill in the world. Its steel went into the Golden Gate Bridge. There was even a company town inside the mill. The town came down in 1973, and the mill shut after RG Steel's bankruptcy in 2012. Did your dad or granddad work at the Point?
