Fort McHenry


Stopped at Fort McHenry today.  Cool to see the place that inspired the Star Spangled Banner. 



 The bridge is the approximate location where the British ship would of been that had Francis Scott Key on it.

 This is the original base to the flag pole that flew the flag that inspired the national anthem.  It is the only remaining original part of the flag pole.
