The flag flying over Fort McHenry had 15 stripes. The Flag Act of January 13, 1794 - provided for 15 stripes and 15 stars after May 1795. This didn't change until the Act of April 4, 1818 - provided for 13 stripes and one star for each state, to be added to the flag on the 4th of July following the admission of each new state, signed by President Monroe. Note that on September 14, 1814 when Francis Scott Key composed the Star-Spangled Banner, the official configuration of the flag had been 15 stripes for 19 years and would not go back to 13 until almost 4 years later.
