Hobson Sinks Merrimac at Santiago Harbor
Lieutenant Hobson and a six man volunteer crew from the New York and Merrimac executed a daring midnight sinking across the harbor entrance at Santiago de Cuba. The plan, approved by Admiral Sampson, aimed to block the Spanish fleet by placing the collier in the channel under cover of darkness, drawing heavy fire from Morro Castle. Ensign Powell’s launch retrieved the survivors, while Hobson and his men became prisoners of war, their bold action hailed as one of naval history’s great feats.
