This is the exact spot where Francis Scott Key's prison ship was anchored...

...or so they would like you to believe.  Actually no one can really know that for sure, but I'm sure that so many people asked, they had to identify "the" spot to quiet the questions.

It reminds me of the tourists in Sedona asking "why did the Indians build the runs so far from the roads?"   Or "How many undiscovered ruins are there in the area?"  Yes - those are actual questions the rangers get...

What REALLY cracked me up is that at least 3 different people pointed this buoy out to me as the ACTUAL spot that the ship was anchored at.

Yeah, and duct tape will save me from terrorist attacks too...
