The Maine was a United States Navy battleship sent to Havana Harbor in January 1898 to protect American interests during unrest on the island. On the night of February 15, 1898, an explosion tore through her forward section and sank her in the harbor, killing 260 of the crew. This general view shows the wreck as it lay in the water, with the twisted superstructure rising above the surface. The sinking helped push the United States toward war with Spain later that year, and the cause of the blast remained disputed for decades.
