EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. Captured by Carlton Theodore Chapman, this image showcases the entrance of Santiago Harbor during the United States' war with Spain. The photograph provides a glimpse into the chaos and intensity of battle as water batteries fiercely defend the harbor against American forces. Amidst the turmoil, we can see the wreckage of Reina Mercedes, a Spanish cruiser that met its demise during the conflict. The remnants serve as a haunting reminder of the destruction caused by war. Dominating the scene is Morro Castle, an imposing fortress guarding Santiago Harbor. Its formidable presence symbolizes both strength and resistance. As we observe this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that capturing such strategic locations was crucial for military success. This print not only documents an important event but also serves as an illustration for Harper's Pictorial History of the War with Spain published in 1899. It allows us to delve deeper into our understanding of this pivotal moment in American history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, enabling us to appreciate and reflect upon our past. Through "The Entrance to Santiago Harbor" we are reminded of how far we have come while acknowledging those who fought bravely for their nations on that fateful day in July 1898.
