Baltimore, the largest city in the state of Maryland, is the second-largest seaport in the Mid-Atlantic in the US. Its port, called the Inner Harbor, was once the second most popular Port Of Entry for settlers into the country over last few centuries. Founded in 1729, this seaside city was the site of a critical battle called the Battle of Baltimore in 1814 against the Colonial British Forces.

This soldierly victory is a crucial moment in the formation of the US as a country and had enthused Francis Scott Key to compose his ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ poem that later became a part of the US national anthem.
