In Santiago de Cuba on April 7 authorities used fifteen hundred pounds of dynamite to blow up the forward superstructure of the Merrimac, a sunk collier blocking the harbor entrance. The blast sent a forty foot water column, wreckage and dead fish across the harbor while divers confirmed the wreck’s flooding. Residents on Smith Key watched the dramatic operation from surrounding hills as boats evacuated with souvenirs.
