         The entire text of the Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting
Person on January 28, 1998, (the "Initial Schedule 13D") is amended and restated
as follows:

Item 1. Security and Issuer

         The class of equity securities to which this statement relates is the
common stock, par value $10.00 per share (the "Common Stock") of Glen Burnie
Bancorp, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), which has its principal
executive offices at 101 Crain Highway, S.E., Glen Burnie, Maryland 21061.

         The descriptions contained in this Report of certain agreements and
documents are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete texts of
such agreements and documents, filed as Exhibits to the Initial Schedule 13D, or
otherwise filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 2. Identity and Background

         This Report is being filed by First Mariner Bancorp, a Maryland
corporation ("FMB" or the "Reporting Person").

         FMB's principal business is the operation of a bank holding company.

         The business address of FMB is 1801 South Clinton Street, Baltimore,
Maryland 21224.

         Edwin F. Hale, Sr. is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FMB 
and, as of October 26, 1998, owns 15.05% of the equity securities of FMB (or
24.11% including options and warrants exercisable within 60 days). As a result,
Mr. Hale could be deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock held by FMB. Mr.
Hale disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Stock held by FMB which he
could be deemed to own as a result of his association with FMB.

         FMB is subject to the informational filing requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and is required
to file reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange
Commission relating to its business, financial condition and other matters. Such
reports and other information may be inspected at the Commission's office at 450
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, and also are available for
inspection and copying at the regional offices of the Commission located at
Northwestern Atrium Center, 500 West Madison Street, Suite 1400, Chicago, IL
60661, and 7 World Trade Center, 13th Floor, New York, NY 10048.

         The name, business address and present principal occupation or
employment and the name, address and principal business of any corporation or
other organization in which such employment is conducted, of (i) each of the
executive officers and directors of FMB; (ii) each person controlling FMB, and
(iii) the executive officers and directors of any corporation controlling FMB
are set forth in Schedule l attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.

         During the last five years, neither FMB nor, to the best of its
knowledge, any executive officer, director or controlling person of FMB has (i)
been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a


                                     Page 3

<PAGE>



judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of
such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal
or state securities law or finding any violation with respect to such law.

         To the best knowledge of FMB, each of its executive officers and
directors is a citizen of the United States.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or other Consideration

         FMB, Ethel D. Webster, a Maryland resident, and Neil C. Williams, a
Maryland resident, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 26,
1998 (the "Agreement"). The form of the Agreement was attached as Exhibit A to
the Initial Schedule 13D and the discussion in this Report of any provisions of
the Agreement is qualified by reference to that Exhibit. Ms. Webster and Mr.
Williams are referred to collectively herein as the "Sellers." Pursuant to the
Agreement, FMB purchased from the Sellers on October 19, 1998 207,548 shares of
Common Stock (the "GBB Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of
$4,509,936.70. The source of the payment of the purchase price was cash on hand.
As a result, FMB may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of greater than five
percent (5%) of the Common Stock.

         On April 15 and 17, 1997, FMB purchased a total of 4,491 shares of
Common Stock in open market purchases. Pursuant to stock dividends issued on
July 1, 1997, October 1, 1997 and December 31, 1997, a stock split issued on
January 10, 1998, and the acquisition of shares in 1998 under the Company's
Dividend Reinvestment Plan, FMB has received an aggregate of 1,129 shares of
Common Stock. Prior to the purchase of GBB Shares pursuant to the Agreement, FMB
beneficially owned a total of 5,620 shares of Common Stock or approximately
0.5%. Upon the purchase of the GBB Shares, FMB beneficially owns a total of
213,168 shares of Common Stock or approximately 19.5%.

         A total of $110,736 in working capital funds was used to purchase the
4,491 shares of Common Stock held by FMB prior to entering into the Agreement.
The 1,129 shares of Common Stock received by FMB as a result of dividends or
splits were received at no cost to FMB or through the reinvestment of dividends
pursuant to the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

         FMB entered into the Agreement for the purpose of acquiring a
significant equity interest in the Company as an investment. The Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of FMB has stated that FMB would ultimately like to
merge with the Company and to take control of the Company.

         FMB intends to periodically review its investment in the Company, and
may in the future acquire additional shares of the Company's Common Stock
through open market purchases, private transactions or otherwise, subject to
applicable bank regulatory and other legal requirements. In the event that FMB
determines to acquire additional shares, it will consider, among other things, a
legal challenge of the validity of the Company's Rights Plan. In addition, FMB
may determine to sell all


                                     Page 4

<PAGE>


or a portion of the shares of the Company's Common Stock that it holds from time
to time, through open market sales, private transactions, the repurchase of
shares by the Company or otherwise.

         FMB will consider seeking the appointment of representatives to the
board of directors of the Company. In addition, FMB will consider soliciting
proxies for nominees for election to the board of directors at the next annual
meeting of the Company's stockholders, although it has no such plan or proposal
at this time.

         FMB continues to reserve the right to change its intention regarding
its investment in the Company's Common Stock and to take other actions,
presently undetermined, to the extent permitted by applicable bank regulatory
and other legal requirements, that could result in or relate to the items
enumerated in paragraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

         In reaching any decisions regarding any of the foregoing, FMB will
consider various factors including, but not limited to, the Company's business
prospects, other developments concerning the Company, other business
opportunities available to FMB, developments concerning FMB and its business,
and general economic and regulatory conditions.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         (a) As of the date hereof, the beneficial ownership by FMB of the
Common Stock of the Company, the total amount thereof now outstanding and the
percentage of said ownership are set forth in the table below.

         The number of shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding, as
reported by the Company in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 1998, was 1,095,968.

         To the knowledge of FMB, no shares of Common Stock are beneficially
owned by its executive officers, directors and controlling persons listed on
Schedule 1 hereto, other than 2,383 shares owned by Director Michael Lynch and
1,932 shares owned by Mr. Lynch's minor children, and 972 shares owned by the
minor children of Director R. Andrew Larkin.

         (b) FMB has sole dispositive power and sole voting power with respect
to the shares of Common Stock which it owns.

         (c)      Except for the transactions described in Item 3 hereof, FMB 
has not effected any transactions in the Common Stock reported on herein 
during the past sixty (60) days, and FMB is not aware of any other 
transactions in such securities by any of the persons listed on Schedule 1 
hereto attributable to FMB.

Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement.

         FMB, the Sellers and Albert W. Woodfield, III entered into an Escrow
Agreement dated January 26, 1998 pursuant to which the GBB shares and the
purchase price therefor were held in escrow pending closing of the purchase. The
description of this agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such
agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit B to the Initial Schedule 13D.
