Baltimore is very post-industrial, although we do handle a ton of shipping. There are two paths a culture can follow after industry: drugs and art. Baltimore has doubled down on both paths.
The fun part is that different parts of the city become postindustrial at different times, so they mature and age in different ways. There's a ton of textile mills and sailcloth factories and ropewalks, but also later factories like meat packing plants and piles of other stuff.
The cycle of industries doesn't seem to have stopped either - we're very focused on medicine these days.
