When reached by phone an employee said the outdoor water-front dining section would be closed as result.

Captain James Seafood Palace Restaurant, the landmark ship-like structure, which is located just across the road on Boston Street, remains open.

It's unclear what caused the fire.

Messages to Captain James management and the Baltimore City Fire Department have gone unanswered as of publishing time.
