Was the flag visible at all during the night at for McHenry?
No. Fort McHenry is the waterfront fortification that protected the city of Baltimore. During the War of 1812, British naval forces bombarded Fort McHenry, attempting to land troops there and allow the Royal Navy squadron to continue up the Chesapeake Bay and sack the city. Francis Scott Key was aboard one of the British ships, and observed the bombardment. He could see the American flag flying from the battlements "at the twilight's last gleaming", but was unable to see if the flag was still flying during the night. But when the flag still was standing on Fort McHenry "at the dawn's early light", the British withdrew from Baltimore and the city was spared. Key later wrote the poem that later became the "Star Spangled Banner", and which even later became the American National Anthem, describing the American flag still waving over the harbor at dawn.
