Description
English: Arlington, Va. (Jun. 17, 2003) -- The Maine Mast Monument, bounded on two sides by Sigsbee Drive, is named after Adm. Charles Dwight Sigsbee, who commanded the vessel as a captain at the time of its destruction. The mast is the actual main mast from the USS Maine, which was sunk in Havana Harbor, Cuba, Feb. 15, 1898. The mizzenmast is at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. The base of the monument represents the turret of a battleship; through its center is the main mast from the USS Maine. Around the sides of the turret are inscribed the names of all who lost their lives in the disaster, and over the door is the inscription: “Erected in memory of the officers and men who lost their lives in the destruction of the USS Maine at Havana, Cuba, February Fifteenth MDCCCXCVIII.” On the south side are two bronze cannons that were captured from the Spanish.
