Burial of the Battleship Maine

The after section of the battle-ship Maine has been floated out of the mud where it was sunk at the outbreak of the Spanish war. It is found that the ship is such an utter wreck that it will be necessary to abandon it completely, except as some of its equipment may be saved. The main portion of the hull will be floated out to deep sea, and with proper naval ceremony, given a burial. A funeral service for a battle-ship is rather an unusual occurrence.
