The wreck of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor marks where the American battleship exploded and sank on the night of February 15, 1898, killing 260 of its crew. The ship had been sent to Cuba to protect American interests during a revolt against Spanish rule, and its loss became a rallying cry in the United States. The slogan "Remember the Maine" helped push the country into the Spanish-American War that spring. The cause of the explosion was debated for decades, and the broken hulk in the harbor remained a powerful symbol of the crisis.
