Compelling postcard photos (3x5”) of the American Battleship Maine in Havana Harbor, Cuba in 1898. The battleship exploded on Feb. 15, 1898, killing 266 men on board, in an event that still stirs debate. Congress would declare war on Spain in April of ’98. Great photos show the battleship before and after the explosion as well as the men who were on board that ship. EX+.
