Baltimore Overview
Baltimore is a major city in Maryland with a long history as an
important seaport. Fort McHenry, birthplace of the U.S. national anthem,
“The Star-Spangled Banner,” sits at the mouth of Baltimore’s Inner
Harbor. Today, this harbor area offers shops, upscale crab shacks and
attractions like the Civil War–era warship the USS Constellation and the
National Aquarium, showcasing thousands of marine creatures.
