This print celebrates the United States Navy's string of naval victories in the waters off Cuba during the Spanish-American War of 1898. Its title points to the American fleets that blockaded Spanish squadrons along the island's coast, most decisively at Santiago de Cuba on July 3, 1898, when Spain's Caribbean fleet was destroyed trying to escape the harbor. Images like this one were popular at the time, offering a patriotic view of a short war that quickly made the United States a naval and colonial power in the Caribbean and the Pacific.
