Sailing through the history of India’s shipbuilding🚢 legacy echoes in America’s National anthem🎵 #AnthemOrigins #QShala
The intriguing connection between the US National Anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner," and India is rooted in the history of the Wadia Group, an Indian shipbuilding company that later became associated with companies like Britannia, Bombay Dyeing, and Go Airlines. The Wadia Group ventured into shipbuilding and established the Wadia Shipbuilding Corporation. Among their creations was the HMS Mindane, a ship commissioned by the War of 1812-1814, a conflict between Britain and the United States. During this war, Francis Scott Key, the author of the American National Anthem, witnessed the American flag still flying proudly after a night battle. He wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner" on the HMS Mindane, a ship built by the Wadia Group in Bombay, India, thus forming an unexpected historical link between the two nations.
