Francis Scott Key pens Star-Spangled Banner during Battle of Baltimore (Fort McHenry, Baltimore, Maryland, 21230, USA) 1814
During the tumultuous War of 1812, the British Navy, known for its brutality, sailed into the Chesapeake Bay, seeking to capture Baltimore, a vital American port city. As the British loomed, Francis Scott Key, a Maryland lawyer and amateur poet, boarded a British ship to negotiate the release of American prisoners. Witnessing the 25-hour bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Navy, Key was electrified by the bravery of the American defenders and the sight of the American flag still waving above the fort after the attack. Inspired, he scribbled the iconic poem "Defence of Fort McHenry", which would later become the lyrics to "The Star-Spangled Banner", the national anthem of the United States.
