The Francis Scott Key Memorial Buoy floats at the Baltimore Harbor after crew members from U.S. Coast Guard Cutter William Tate positioned it on the Patapsco River, June 18, 2025. The specially designed aid to navigation commemorates Francis Scott Key, revered author of the poem “Defense of Fort M’Henry,” that was later retitled “The Star Spangled Banner.” (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty officer 3rd Class Christopher Bokum)
