	208k	Construction & Repair proposal that became the Maine. Note the 10-inch guns are in open shields. The ship was actually built with enclosed turrets, which had to be mounted a deck height lower because of their weight. The shields and barbettes were initially attractive because they were light enough to be mounted very high in a ship, but they grew less and less attractive as rapidly firing guns came to threaten their crews. The heavier guns fired slowly enough that they had to concentrate on easier targets such as belt armor.		Photo and text courtesy of U.S. Battleships: An Illustrated Design History by Norman Friedman.

	684k	THE WRECK OF THE MAINE Hulk of Ill Fated Battleship Still Lies in Havana Harbor. It happened, curiously enough, that it was eleven years even to the day and hour after the old battleship Maine entered Havana harbor never again to leave it that the new battleship Maine (BB-10) bearing the same name steamed past Morro Castle and anchored but a short distance away from the wreck of the old vessel. The new Maine went to Cuban waters to be of service in connection with the formal transfer of governmental authority from the hands of Governor Magoon back to the Cubans themselves and their duly elected President Jose Miguel Gomez. The visit of the new Maine called attention to the fact that the wreck of her now historic predecessor still lies in the harbor of Havana, an obstruction and menace to navigation. President Roosevelt has recommended to Congress that an appropriation be made to remove the destroyed hulk. It was on February 15, 1898, that the old Maine was blown up in Havana harbor. There is a movement in progress now to bring about a general patriotic observance of this date yearly as "Maine day." The incident of the blowing up of the vessel is one of the most tragic in our national history, and is it was the event which directly brought on the war with Spain it has had most far reaching results, affecting other nations besides ourselves. Strangely enough, the question of how and why the Maine was destroyed remains still unanswered.		Image and text provided by Ohio Historical Society, Columbus, OH.

	685k	Cleaning the Mud Away From the Battleship Maine Is a Slow Job ALL of the water has been pumped from the inside of the cofferdam in closing the wreck of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor, but the wreck has not yet been entirely exposed to view, as it is buried in mud about thirty-five feet deep. Removing this mud is a slow process, because it is searched closely for the remains of the men whose bodies were not found at the time the battleship was destroyed. Bones that have been recovered belonged to eighteen or twenty bodies, and more are being found daily. Until all the mud is removed, which will not be for several weeks, it will not be possible to answer the question as to the original explosion that destroyed the Maine. One of the pictures above shows the incrusted hull of the battleship, while the other shows that portion of the vessel most severely damaged by the explosion that sent her to the bottom.
