The Dali, the container ship that struck Baltimore’s Key Bridge, is now free of the wreckage, but still in Baltimore harbor as it is prepared for offloading. Its crew members are still on board, operating the ship as they remain the subjects of an investigation. Host Carolyn Beeler speaks with Sal Mercogliano, professor of maritime history at Campbell University, about the crew and their duties, obligations, and rights, as they are prevented from going ashore.
