On a ship. Near Fort McHenry, a fort guarding Baltimore, Francis Scott Key was detained aboard over night while the shelling took place of the fort. In the morning he saw the flag of the United States still flying. He was so inspired that he wrote the Star Spangled Banner, all four verses.
Francis Scott Key wrote our national anthem.

For the United States of America (my country), the lyrics are "The Defense of Fort McHenry" (commonly called "The Star Spangled Banner") and were written by Francis Scott Key. The music is "To Anacreon in Heaven", a British beer hall song by John Stafford Smith. The song is called "The Star Spangled Banner". It became our National Anthem in 1931.
He wrote the lyrics. The tune came from an English drinking song.
