Description
The USS Maine Mast Memorial is a memorial honoring those who died aboard the USS MAINE on Feb 15, 1898, after a Mysterious explosion destroyed the ship while at anchor in Havana Harbor. It is located in Arlington National cemetery in Virginia, in the United States. The memorial consists of the main mast of the battleship set atop a circular concrete burial receiving vault designed to resemble a battleship turret.The Memorial has occasionally been used to hold the remains of important individuals, such as Lord Lothian and Ignacy Jan Paderewski.
the press reported that there were 147 graves at Colon Cemetery, but were believed to be 166 bodies with many having more than one body in coffins. The Navy repatriate the bodies buried at Colon Cemetery, and Representative Charles A. Boutelle wanted all the soldiers reinterred at Arlington national Cemetery near the field where the dead of the Siege of Santiago were buried after the Spanish-American War.
