EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic event that unfolded on February 15,1898, in Havana Harbor. The destruction of the U. S. Battleship Maine during the Spanish-American War is depicted in this contemporary chromolithograph by Kurz & Allison. The chaos and devastation are vividly portrayed as flames engulf the once-mighty vessel. The image showcases the exterior of the battleship amidst a sea of turmoil. Men, presumably sailors, can be seen desperately trying to escape from this maritime catastrophe. The bomb explosion that caused this catastrophic sinking is prominently displayed, emphasizing its destructive power. This historical moment marked a turning point in North American history and had far-reaching consequences for both Cuba and the United States. It intensified tensions between these nations and ultimately led to America's involvement in the Spanish-American War. The late 19th century setting adds an air of nostalgia to this artwork, transporting viewers back to a time when conflicts were fought at sea with battleships like USS Maine playing crucial roles. As we reflect upon this tragedy through Bradley Smith's Carousel Collection photograph, it serves as a reminder of how quickly peace can turn into chaos and how one pivotal event can shape entire regions such as Latin America and Caribbean Sea.
