Battleship Maine Monument in Bangor

Although the cause of the explosion of the USS Maine in Havana, Cuba that led to the Spanish-American War will always be debated, the sinking of this battleship led to Spanish-American War.

In Davenport Park in Bangor, Maine stands this stately memorial to those who fought in this largely-overlooked war that announced to the world that the United States was a global power.

All gave some. Some gave all.
