name of ship that Francis Scott Key was on when he wrote the star spangled banner?

Question

specific name of ship

Answer 1

A small American truce ship and he finished it in his hotel (the Indian Queen Hotel). Key and some others went to the Tonnant to the HMS Surprise and back to their sloop and then to the hotel.

Answer 2

Francis Scott Key was an attorney and he had gone to the British Flagship, the Tonnant, to discuss the release of prisoners. When the bombardment began, he was stuck on the Tonnant until the barrage was lifted, so he witnessed the whole thing and it effected him so deeply he wrote the famous poem that became the words for The Star Spangled Banner.

This is an important part of history, so I don't know why people have to try to make up an answer when they really don't know the story.

Answer 3

The lyrics come from a poem written in 1814 by ability of Francis Scott Key, a then 35-12 months-old novice poet who wrote "Defence of citadel McHenry" after seeing the bombardment of citadel McHenry at Baltimore, Maryland, by ability of Royal army ships in Chesapeake Bay in the time of the conflict of 1812.
