Monument to the Victims of USS Maine

Monument to the Victims of USS Maine

The Maine exploded in Havana in 1898 and was a primary impetus of the Spanish-American War.  The memorial originally featured an eagle with outspread wings at the top.  Following the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, the eagle was removed and the following inscription was added:

"To the victims of the Maine who were sacrificed by the imperialist voracity and their desire to gain control of the island of Cuba
February 1898 – February 1961"
