The Star-Spangled Banner is the current national anthem of the United States of America. The poem (lyrics) was written by Francis Scott Key, and the melody came from an old English song. Key wrote the lyrics while aboard the British ship HMS Minden the day after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British during the War of 1812.
