The First Lady continues her trip in Baltimore, Maryland, where she
visits the Francis Scott Key memorial. The memorial is located at Eutaw
Place in the Bolton Hill neighborhood about 15 minutes from downtown
Baltimore. Commissioned by Charles and Theodore Marburg and created by
French sculptor Jean Marius Antonin Mercie, the lower part of the
monument is a circular pool with a boat in it. Seated in the boat is a
sailor and Francis Scott Key with his right hand raised handing the
manuscript of his poem to Columbia, the figure atop the structure which
rises out of the pool.
