A nautical scene shot from the seawall at Fort McHenry
The historical replica ship, the Pride of Baltimore II, is seen under sail at the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. The location of Pride II is close to where Francis Scott Key, the lawyer, was held captive on a British Ship during the Battle of Baltimore of September 12-14, 1814, one of the culminating battles of the War of 1812.
It was in the morning of the last day following the night of bombardment when Key say the American Flag flying in the dawn’s early light. He then penned the words of the poem that would later become our National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner.
