Another video in my collection of shipwreck tributes, this time it is the USS Maine. On Febuary 15th 1898, while assigned to protect US Interests in Havana Cuba during the Cuban War of Independence against Spain, the battleship USS Maine was destroyed by a massive explosion killing all but 74 of her 350 man crew. Through a combination of hysteria and yellow jurnalism the destruction of the Maine triggered the five month Spanish-American War. In 1912 the Maine was raised and resunk in deep water, and she and those who died aboard her were forgotten.

No USA or Spain did not sink the Maine it was caused by coal dust explosion. Also, My grandfather Who was a cheif Petty offcier was there on USS Geoditic Survey Ship Batch and took a picture of the Maine the morning after it blew up. Also, he later spied on the spanish fort guarding the harbor using a vetigable merchants cart to hide the large glass plate camera he used to take pics of the defenses.

First I always thought that is was a boiler explosion, because ships back then were powered by steam.
