EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the tragic event that forever changed the course of history - the destruction of the U. S. Battleship Maine in Havana Harbor on February 15,1898. The chaotic scene depicted in this print showcases the devastating aftermath of a bomb explosion that engulfed the ship and plunged it into darkness. Amidst billowing smoke and debris, brave sailors can be seen desperately navigating through the chaos, their faces etched with determination and fear. This image serves as a poignant reminder of their valiant efforts to save lives amidst an unprecedented disaster. The USS Maine's sinking was a pivotal moment leading up to the Spanish-American War, igniting tensions between Spain and America. The significance of this event is further emphasized by its depiction against Havana Harbor's picturesque backdrop - once serene waters now stained with tragedy. Created by Kurz & Allison, renowned for their ability to capture historical events with remarkable detail, this lithograph transports viewers back to a time when warfare at sea took center stage. Its vivid colors and meticulous attention to detail make it an invaluable piece for any history enthusiast or collector seeking to commemorate turn-of-the-century maritime battles. As we gaze upon this haunting image over a century later, let us remember those who lost their lives aboard the USS Maine and honor their sacrifice as we reflect on one of America's defining moments in naval warfare.
