Francis Scott Key was aboard HMS Minden on his travel to and from the British fleet off Baltimore. After arranging on the flagship HMS Tonnant for the release of an arrested friend, Dr. William Beanes, he was taken by HMS Surprise back to HMS Minden and released after the attack on Fort McHenry was concluded.
