Vince Vaise, the chief of interpretation at Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine, speaks to a group of visitors aboard the Coast Guard Cutter James Rankin, a 175-foot buoy tender homeported in Baltimore, during the annual placing of the Francis Scott Key buoy. Park rangers and volunteers from Fort McHenry were also aboard the Rankin to tell the story of the Battle of Baltimore in 1812. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Robert Brazzell)
