Summary
| Description |
English: Outside Fort McHenry.
Fort McHenry, in Baltimore, Maryland, is a star shaped fort best known for its role in the War of 1812 when it successfully defended Baltimore Harbor from an attack by the British navy in the Chesapeake Bay. It was during this bombardment of the fort that Francis Scott Key was inspired to write The Star-Spangled Banner, the poem that would eventually be turned into the national anthem of the United States, set to the tune of a British song To Anacreon in Heaven. Also Francis Scott Key was captive on a British ship during the bombing.
Nederlands: Langs de wallen van Fort McHenry.
Fort McHenry is een fort in de haven van Baltimore in de Amerikaanse staat Maryland. Ten tijde van de Oorlog van 1812 werd het fort beschoten door de Britse marine vanuit de Chesapeakebaai. Het door Francis Scott Key gadegeslagen bombardement van Fort McHenry inspireerde de dichter tot het schrijven van het Amerikaanse volkslied The Star-Spangled Banner. |
