== Refuting a HMS ''Minden'' myth ==
The claim that HMS ''Minden'' saw service during the War of 1812 in the Chesapeake Bay and that Francis Scott Key was on ''Minden'' when he wrote the Star Spangled Banner during the bombardment of Fort McHenry is '''Incorrect''' and an '''Impossibility'''.
From January 1813 to September 1815, HMS ''Minden'' was stationed in the East Indies. During most of that time she served as the flagship of Rear Admiral Sir Samuel Hood, Commander in Chief of the East Indies Station (1812 - 1814).

Sir Samuel Hood was appointed to command the '''East Indies Station''' in July 1811. On 1 August 1811 he was promoted Vice-Admiral and took passage to India arriving at Madras in 1812 where he first took HMS ''Illustrious'' 74 as his flagship. He moved to '''HMS ''Minden'' 74''' when she arrived at Madras on 19 January 1813, having been brought out from Portsmouth by Captain Alexander Skene. The '''''Minden''''' was subsequently commanded by Captain Joseph Prior in 1813, and thereafter by Captain George Henderson (until 14 January 1815).
Samuel Hood died at Madras on 24 December 1814.<ref name="morethannelson.com"/>

Captain George Henderson "… was appointed, on the '''East India Station''' ... 20 April 1814, to the '''''Minden'' 74''', bearing the flag of his friend Sir Sam. Hood – and 14 Jan. 1815, to the ''Malacca'' 42."<ref>O’Byrne, William R.

Lieutenant Herbert John Clifford "… was appointed to the '''East India Station''' in June 1812 … joined '''HMS ''Minden''''' 74 in July 1813." “He wrote a series of 7 letters to his friend Robert Duke between May and September 1814, whilst serving on '''HMS ''Minden''''', flagship of Sir Sam Hood, describing events and places in the '''East Indies'''. Written from Java, Sumatra, Malacca and Madras with detailed comments on the places visited." <ref>Cliford’s letters and diary are archived in the National Museum of the Royal Navy.

'''There are numerous specific references (dates and places) to HMS ''Minden'' as Admiral Hood’s flagship in the East Indies station. Here is a small sampling:'''
* "In the '''summer of 1814''', '''Sir Samuel Hood''' made a voyage, in '''his majesty’s ship ''Minden''''', to the eastern parts of his station. We called first at Acheen, on the north end of the island of Sumatra, … whose capital the Admiral visited. From thence we steered over to Pulo Penang, or Prince of Wales’s Island, and thence down the Straits of Malacca, entering the China Sea by the beautiful Straits of Singapore. The Admiral’s chief object was to visit '''Java''': … he preferred taking the Caramata passage … which also led him near the western shore of the immense island of Borneo." (From "Fragments of Voyages and Travels" by Capt. Basil Hall) <ref>Hall, Basil (Captain, RN) "Fragments of Voyages and Travels, Third Series, Vol. 2" - Whittaker, Treacher, & Co. London 1853 (Page 270 - Chapter 9 ''Visit to the Sultan of Pontiana in Borneo--Sir Samuel Hood'') https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.$b556492&view=1up&seq=286&skin=2021</ref>
* “'''' Hood had arrived at '''Semarang''' on '''H.M.S''' '''''Minden''''' (Capt. Henderson) on '''29 June 1814''' and had expressed a wish to travel extensively through Java. On 3 July, therefore, a circular had been sent round to all Residents on the island by Raffles instructing them to give the Admiral and his staff every possible assistance. Hood had travelled first to Surabaya, Madura and Besuki in the Ooshoek, returning to Semarang on 6 July." ... "After making a short visit the Banten and Anyer on the Sundra straits, he sailed on the '''''Minden''''' from '''Batavia''' on '''1 August 1814''' for '''Madras''', where he died on 24 December of that year.” - (From "The British in Java 1811-1816: A Javanese Account".) <ref>Carey,Peter (Editor).

Letter written by Vice Admiral Sir Samuel Hood to Captain Henderson of '''HMS ''Minden'''''. Hood had arrvied at Government House, '''Buitenzorg''' , on '''20 July''' after a journey overland from Semarnag . The letter makes references to Raffles and was written from Government House, Buitenzorg, with Raffles in residence as Lieutenant Governor.
* “My dear Henderson, Mr Raffles has desired me to ask you and Biddulph to come out here; it would do you both good, he also asked for some of the officers and youngsters - the house, if more than two or three of them come, would probably be crowded tho' there is good accommodation.” <ref>

On '''19 July 1814''' the '''''Minden''''' arrived at Batavia . The London Courier and Evening Gazette (28 November 1814) wrote:
* "The '''''Minden''''', 74, and a frigate, arrived at '''Batavia''' the evening before the ''Streatham'' sailed. Sir Samuel Hood, the Admiral, was on shore, and had come overland from Semarang to Batavia, to see the Island.” (The ''Streatham'' sailed on 20 July 1814.) <ref>From an article in the London Courier and Evening Gazette, Monday, 28 November 1814.

On Saturday, '''1 October 1814''' the '''''Minden''''' was at Madras, India where she participated in the salute of the governor, General Abercromby, who was returning to England. The Bombay Gazette (19 October 1814) wrote:
* “General Abercromby was accompanied from the Fort to the Beach by the Right Honourable the European Gentlemen at '''Madras''' … with usual Military honors. Salutes from the Fort, from Chepauk Palace, '''H. M.

There were hundreds of dispatches from Vice Admiral Samuel Hood to the British Admiralty (and from the Admiralty to Hood) during this period (1813-1814), with many specifying the locations and dates of HMS ''Minden'' (Hood’s flagship).
A few of them are referenced in an authoritative essay by Gordon K. Harrington (1991): <ref>Sweetman, Jack (editor in chief).

It is quite clear from all the detailed historical references that HMS ''Minden'' was nowhere near North America during any of the British campaigns in the Chesapeake Bay (which took place between 23 April 1813 and 14 September 1814). All of the British ships that were present during the Battle of Baltimore and bombardment of Fort McHenry are well documented. A complete list is given in the book "The Rockets’ Red Glare” by Scott S. Sheads.<ref>Sheads, Scott S. “The Rockets' Red Glare: The Maritime Defense of Baltimore in 1814” Tidewater Publishers 1986. Pages 127-128 (Appendix III. A list if the British Naval Expeditionary Fleet during the Battle of Baltimore, September 12–14, 1814.)</ref> HMS ''Minden'' is nowhere on the list (not surprising since it was stationed on the other side of the world at the time, in the Bay of Bengal).

The story about HMS ''Minden''’s involvement in the bombardment of Fort McHenry, and Francis Scott Key being on her, apparently originated from the Wadia family (the ship's builders) in Bombay, India. The first mention of this appeared decades later in Bayard Taylor’s book “A visit to India, China, and Japan in the year 1853”, first published in 1855. (This book had many printings and was widely distributed.) <blockquote>"The Wadya family, to which my host belonged, have been for more than half a century the ship-builders of Bombay. The vicinity of the teak forests has occasioned the building of several ships of the line for the British Navy in the dockyard there. The first of these, the ''Minden'', has been in service for nearly fifty years, and her condition still attests the excellence of her construction. It was between her decks, while lying off Fort McHenry, that Francis Key wrote our 'Star-spangled Banner.’ “
<ref>Taylor, Bayard, "A visit to India, China, and Japan in the year 1853” first published 1855 by G.P. Putnam. 1st edition 1855. Chapter 4 ''"A Nautch Among the Parsees"'' Page 60 (# 80 in scroll)
https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.hnbgsx&view=1up&seq=80&skin=2021</ref></blockquote>

Somehow this story caught on, got passed around, morphed into several different versions which worked their way into some history books, letters and articles, and is still being promoted today in some quarters (especially India). Even Rex Tillerson, when he was U.S. Secretary of State, in a press conference on U.S.-India partnership (given 18 October 2017) mentioned this mythical story as though it were true.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zwnsZVhHI5I&t=2m29s |title=Remarks by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson |date=18 October 2017}} (2:28 in the video)</ref>

'''Final note:'''
The Wadia family ship-builders of Bombay (as well as their decendents) had an illustrious history and plenty to be proud of without having to rely on an apocryphal fictitious story about one of their ships.

HMS Minden was a Royal Navy 74-gun Ganges-class third-rate ship of the line, launched on 19 June 1810 from Bombay, India. She was named after the German town Minden and the Battle of Minden of 1759, a decisive victory of British and Prussian forces over France in the Seven Years' War. The town is about 75 km away from Hanover, from where the House of Hanover comes—the dynasty which ruled the United Kingdom from 1714 until 1901.

Construction

Jamsetjee Bomanjee Wadia, the Parsi master shipbuilder. The Minden can be seen under construction outside the window. Jamsetjee holds a plan of the ship, and wears a shawl as traditionally given to builders by the East India Company on completion of a new ship

Jamsetjee Bomanjee Wadia of the Wadia Group built Minden. She was launched from the Duncan Docks in Bombay, India, and was built of teak.

The Bombay Courier, 23 June 1810 wrote:

“On Tuesday last His Majesty’s Ship, the Minden built in the new docks (Bombay) by Jamsetji Bomanji Wadia was floated into the stream at high water, after the usual ceremony of breaking the bottle had been performed by the Honorable Governor Jonathan Duncan. Also In having produced the Minden, Bombay is entitled to the distinguished praise of providing the first and only British ship of the line built out of the limits of the Mother Country; and in the opinion of very competent judges, the Minden, for beauty of construction and strength of frame, may stand in competition with any man-o-war that has come out of the most celebrated Dockyards of Great Britain. For the skill of its architects, for the superiority of its timber, and for the excellence of its docks, Bombay may now claim a distinguished place among naval arsenals”.

Service history

Minden sailed from Bombay on 8 February 1811 on her first cruise, under the command of Edward Wallis Hoare, and manned by the crew of the Russell. In March she sailed from Madras to take part in the invasion of Java. On 29 July two of her boats, under the command of Lieutenant Edmund Lyons, with only 35 officers and men aboard, attacked and captured the fort covering the harbour of Marrack, to the westward of Batavia. The Naval General Service Medal with the clasp "30 July Boat Service 1811" was issued to survivors of this action in 1848. The Dutch and French forces in Java surrendered in September. Minden then sailed for the UK and escorted convoys to the East Indies, the Cape of Good Hope, South America, and the coast of Africa.

Minden saw service during the War of 1812 in the Chesapeake Bay. Some accounts state that Francis Scott Key was aboard Minden when he wrote the poem "Defense of Fort M'Henry", which became the lyrics for "The Star-Spangled Banner".

In late July 1816 Minden sailed from Plymouth Sound, as part of an Anglo-Dutch fleet that made an attack on Algiers on 27 August. The Naval General Service Medal with the clasp "Algiers" was issued to survivors of this battle in 1848.

Minden then sailed for the East Indies, and was reported to be at Trincomalee in 1819. In July 1830 Minden was at Plymouth. She was commissioned there on 19 March 1836 and sailed for the Tagus joining the British squadron. In 1839 she was at Malta, returning to Plymouth in early 1840.

The fire on the morning of 27 September 1840, which threatened to destroy Devonport dockyard and the Minden

She was at Devonport dockyard when it suffered severe damage in a large scale fire on 25 September 1840, it started in the North Dock on HMS Talavera which was completely gutted, spread to the Minden whose fire was successfully put out, and spread to nearby buildings and equipment.

A typhoon destroyed the shore-based Royal Naval Hospital at Hong Kong on 22 July 1841, and Minden was commissioned at Plymouth in December 1841 to serve as a hospital ship there. She was stationed at Hong Kong as a hospital ship from 1842 until she was replaced by HMS Alligator in 1846. Minden then served there as stores ship until sold for scrapping in August 1861.

In memory of the ship, two streets were named after her, Minden Row and Minden Avenue, located behind Signal Hill of Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
