2. Cruise out toward Fort McHenry and view the famous star-shaped fort from the water. This historic site played a pivotal role during the War of 1812, when American forces successfully defended Baltimore against British attack. Travelers will see the fort from the boat as the guide explains its significance in American history and its connection to the writing of the United States national anthem. This is a sightseeing pass-by from the water, and the tour does not include entry to the fort.

About Baltimore

Baltimore, Maryland's port city on the Chesapeake Bay, is a city of brick rowhouses, harbourside museums and a fort that inspired the national anthem.

Baltimore, a long-time port on the Patapsco River near the Chesapeake Bay, spreads around its Inner Harbor, where an aquarium, tall ships and a science museum sit beside a promenade. Fort McHenry, at the harbour's mouth, was bombarded by British ships in September 1814 and inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star-Spangled Banner. Nearby, the cobbled waterfront of Fells Point is lined with eighteenth-century buildings, pubs and restaurants.
