Mick, Everett Brown wrote an instrumental piece titled "Pride of Baltimore," shortly after she sank. It is on the Wickford Express album 'Fair Winds.'

Also, I found the following paragraph on the Pride of Baltimore II Captain's webpage: http://www.pride2.org/NewPrideSite/Pride2/Logs/1098.html
"Yet another creative connection with the ship was re-established in Marina Del Rey when Baltimore musician Patrick O'Brennan came aboard to provide entertainment during a reception for the Maryland Film Commission. Pat performed in Baltimore when the ship took her leave last December and has written two songs relating to the PRIDE legacy. One is dedicated to the "old boat," and is fittingly entitled "Pride of Baltimore." I was flattered when Pat told me that the other song, entitled "Pride II," was inspired by logs that I wrote last winter during the passage from Panama to Hawaii, which he had followed on the internet."
