Maine Ship Sinking Remembered Twenty-One Years Later
February 1 marks twenty-one years since the destruction of the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor. The Spanish inquiry blamed an antinal explosion, later reports suggested a submarine mine caused the blast, with no conclusive culprit identified. Congress funded national defense soon after. Spain and the United States moved toward war, and later examinations in 1912 pointed to a submarine mine as the cause. The article notes ongoing denial of Spanish involvement and includes a Norwich church visit related to Rev. J. H. MacConnell.
