Defenders!!
French manufactured cannon. I don't know if these guns are the same ones that were at Ft. McHenry in 1814, but they are definitely the same type. These are positioned in the outer works of the fort. The heavy ropes and pullies were used to bring the cannon back into battery after firing and loading. 32 pound cannonballs wait in the racks at the rear of the guns.
