"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the #nationalAnthem of the #UnitedStates. The lyrics come from the "Defence of Fort M'Henry", a #poem written by American lawyer #FrancisScottKey on September 14, 1814, after he witnessed the bombardment of #FortMcHenry by the #British #RoyalNavy during the #BattleOfBaltimore in the #WarOf1812. Key was inspired by the large #USFlag, with 15 stars and 15 stripes, known as the #StarSpangledBanner.

Final photo from #FortMcHenry shows one of a line of #canons, apparently sighting through an earthen berm at the Dali, the container ship which brought down the Baltimore bridge.
Heard tonight that they expect to float it next week, and tow it back to the port for repair.
It seemed today to have a ship with a crane working on it (or nearby?) so perhaps they’re removing some cargo to lighten it.
Wonder how the port will feel, having this ship back?

Today was my first bike ride down to #FortMcHenry since the #KeyBridgeCollapse. I knew what to expect as I rounded the turn, but it was still stunning.
It was also the most crowded I've ever scene the park--but maybe that was because of the Orioles game?

Brought my #sextant to #FortMcHenry for some #celestialnavigation. Got my latitude within ~3km and longitude with ~18km. The latter would have been better, but I was using my cyclecomputer for a timepiece, and it doesn't report seconds.
I also sighted the Key Bridge while I was out there, got my distance within 1%. Math rules.
