EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the moment of the U.S.S. Maine's launching in the year 1889. The U.S.S. Maine was an armored cruiser of the Chicago class, marking a significant milestone in the United States Navy's maritime history. The photograph, taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, showcases the U.S.S. Maine gracefully gliding through the calm waters of the stream, surrounded by onlookers on the banks and various boats in the foreground. The U.S.S. Maine was the first American battleship to be named after the Spanish-American War's famous exploded battleship, and its launching was a source of national pride and excitement. This historic moment took place at the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company in Virginia. The U.S.S. Maine went on to serve in the Spanish-American War, and its sinking in Havana Harbor in 1898 led to the United States' entry into the conflict. This evocative image, from the Library of Congress, transports us back to a time of maritime innovation and national pride in the late 19th century.
