USS Maine [Round]Description
"Taken from USS Maine"Context
On January 25, 1898, the USS Maine steamed past Morro Castle into the harbor of Havana. Going peacefully to her designated anchorage in the port of a supposed friendly power, no thought was given to the fearful fate in store for her. While she was majestic when teeming with life, a halo has been thrown around her by her having been destroyed by a submarine mine at 9:40 pm, February 15, 1898, and the battle cry "Remember the Maine" was reverberated around the world and spurred our men on to fresh victories.
