Information about the Baltimore Harbor

            In Baltimore Harbor, you can see a large red, white, blue banner at dawn. The banner has broad stripes and bright stars. It was gallantly streaming over the star-shaped Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore on September13-14, in 1814. The valiant defense of the fort by 1,000 dedicated Americans inspired Francis Scott Key to write the “ Star- Spangled Banner”. The defenders of Fort McHenry stopped the British from advancing on Baltimore and helped to preserve the United States of America.  Following the Battle of Baltimore, during the War of 1812, the fort never again came under attack. However, it remained an active military post off and on for the next 100 years. It became an area administered by the National Park Service in 1933; two years after Key’s poem became this country’s National Anthem. Of all the areas in the National Park System, Fort McHenry is the only one designated a National Monument and Historic Shrine. The National Park Service is located in Baltimore, Maryland.
