The bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore harbor lasted 25 hours, from 6 AM on September 13, 1814 until the following morning. The British tried to reduce the fort to allow an invasion of Baltimore by way of Chesapeake Bay. But they used long-range cannons and rockets to stay outside the range of the American guns, and these did little damage to the fort.
