Both flight crew felt sick and had problems controlling the aircraft, at 1600 feet the crew initiated a go-around and received vectors for a second approach.

The first officer became ill and was unable to continue duties.

The captain requested a diversion to Baltimore at low altitude below turbulence, ATC provided vectors to Baltimore but refused vectors at low altitude.
