Fort McHenry is a historical American coastal pentagonal bastion fort located in the Locust Point
neighborhood of Baltimore, MD. It is best known for its role in the War of 1812, when it successfully defended Baltimore Harbor from an attack by the British navy from
the Chesapeake Bay on September 13–14, 1814. It was first built in 1798 and was used continuously by the U.S. armed forces through World War I and by the Coast Guard in
World War II. It was designated a national park in 1925, and in 1939 was redesignated a "National Monument and Historic Shrine".

ferry branch but were repulsed with great loss." |
