Charles Dwight Sigsbee, American naval officer, 1898. Sigsbee (1845-1923) was captain of the battleship USS 'Maine' which exploded and sank in Havana harbour, Cuba, on 15 February 1898, setting in motion the train of events that culminated in the outbreak of the Spanish-American War. Sigsbee survived the sinking and he and his officers were exonerated of responsibility by a court of inquiry, which found that a Spanish naval mine had been responsible. A print from Our Country in War and Relations with All Nations, by Murat Halstead, The United Subscription Book Publishers of America, 1898.
