Description
Photo of civil war canons overlooking the patapsco river at fort mchenry in baltimore maryland. These canons were placed in service for the civil war yet were never used in battle. The successful defense of this fort against british gunships on september 14, 1814 inspired francis scott key to write the national anthem for the united states of america called the star-spangled banner.
