The New Battleship Maine

THE New battleship Maine, whose keel was laid on the anniversary of the destruction of the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor, February 15, 1898, left the ship-yards of the Cramps Shipbuilding Company on July 14 for her builders' trial trip. The new Maine is 388 feet long, 72 feet wide, her displacement is 12,500 tons, and she is said to be a much more powerful vessel than her namesake whose bones still lie beneath the waters of Havana harbor.
