FORT McHENRY FLAG
Americana Series
During the War of 1812, an American storm flag, with 15 stars and 15 stripes, was flown over Fort McHenry. This was this site of the battle in 1814 that gave birth to our national anthem. Early on the morning of September 14, 1814, after the battle ended, a larger American garrison flag (30 x 40 feet, with stars 2 feet point to point and stripes 2 feet wide) was raised to signal victory over the British.
