Where the National Anthem Was Written

Francis Scott Key watched the bombardment of Fort McHenry in September 1814 and wrote the verse that became the US national anthem. The flag he saw was about 9 by 12 metres, deliberately oversized so the British could see it from the water.

The clock: Baltimore keeps Eastern Time. Its harbour was the terminus of the first commercial railway in the United States, the B&O, chartered in 1827.

Baltimore lies at 76.6°W. Its time zone, UTC−5, is built around the 75°W meridian. The 1.6° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 6 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:06 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 66 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:06.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 56m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h 24m. The swing between them is 5h 33m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Baltimore the sun comes up earliest on 15 June at 05:39, while the latest sunset waits until 29 June at 20:37. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Baltimore that civil twilight runs about 27 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 32 minutes at the solstice.

Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
