Perry the Peregrine Falcon gets a tour of Baltimore from his father, including the Baltimore Aquarium, the 200 year old US Navy ship Constellation, the Maryland Science Center, Fort McHenry (the location of the flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star Spangled Banner), the Orioles’ Camden Yards, and the Baltimore Ravens’ stadium, the B&O Railroad Museum Roundhouse, and the Washington Monument in Baltimore’s Mount Vernon Place.
The Star-Spangled Banner
The national anthem illustrated with engaging watercolors that depict the British attack of Fort McHenry in Baltimore in the War of 1812. It was during this battle that the Star-Spangled Banner was written by Francis Scott Key. Also includes the story of the flag that flew over Fort McHenry during that battle and how it came to be in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, DC.
