USS Maine, Havana (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Robert Carrier said:
    The pinnacle of "Yellow Journalism", the Maine was significant because the major American publications at the time blamed the Spanish for the sinking of the ship (it was later discovered to be the result of a boiler explosion, I believe) without any evidence. It caused a major uproar that eventually led to the Spanish-American war and Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders.

    remember the MAINE! surprise? attack on PEARL HARBOUR! remember the BAY OF TOLKIEN! weapons of mass destruction-and over 900 "fabricated stories" to justify attacking IRAQ... remember BUSH!
  • Gambarrotti said:
    Yes, the story is still the same! No matter how years passed. There always be a cause for the intervention. Roosvelt in Havana, Truman in Korea, Johnson in Vietnam, JFK in Cuba, Carter in Grenada, and many more. War is a great business.

    Carter wasn't in Grenada, that was Reagan en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Grenada

Merida (ship) (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Art Siegel said:
    " The Merida is another well-known name in the treasure-salvage business. Ward Line's 6,207 ton passenger-freighter SS Merida, on May 12, 1911, enroute from Vera Cruz and Havana to New York, was carrying former aristocrats and other refugees escaping the Mexican Revolution of 1910. In a heavy fog, she was rammed amidships by the Admiral Farragut which itself became helplessly disabled. The wireless distress call was sent out and the steamship Hamilton responded. The Hamilton took on board all persons from both distressed vessels before the Merida sank in 210 feet of water approximately 80 miles east / northeast of Virginia Beach, Virginia. The rumor of the Merida's treasure goes something like this: there was not enough time to save the $6 million worth of gold and silver from the strong room, and the Maximilian jewels from the purser's safe. There are accounts of salvors working this wreck in 1932 and in the 1980s, but without success." www.rms-republic.com/other_cargos2.html

    One of the first uses of SOS. Navy Library has the correspondence as it went down. Several articles were run in the Washington Post on May 13-14, 1911, including discussion of the sunken treasure. Should be obvious, but... photo is older stock image. They've bordered it off for publication.
