With one of the world's largest natural harbors, Baltimore has always been a port city. Excellent rail, road, and air connections make it attractive for industry, manufacturing, and trade. Today, however, Baltimore's economy focuses on research and development, especially in the areas of aquaculture, pharmaceuticals, and medical supplies and services. In addition to private laboratories, the city is home to more than 60 federal research laboratories, and to Columbus Center, a large marine biotechnology center that opened in 1994.Microsoft® Encarta® Online Encyclopedia 2001
