Why was Francis Scott Key in Maryland when he wrote the Star Spangled Banner?

Francis was not in any state because he was on a ship trapped in the Chesapeake bay. The British ships would not allow his ship to leave the bay. However other accounts say that Francis wasn't on his original ship, but a prisoner upon a British vessel when he wrote the Star spangled banner. Which, by the way, was originally a poem, and not a song.
