It was the USS Maine, a battleship that was anchored in Havana Harbor when it unexpectedly blew up. The cause of the explosion is still not certain, but it was a catastrophe. The unexplained explosion was used as a catalyst to precipitate the US and Spain into a war.It
The study was not conclusive, but found it probable that it was an internal explosion. In 1999 National Geographic sponsored a study. It was conducted by Advance Marine Enterprises.
The ship that blew up was the Battleship USS Maine. It was not deliberately blown up, it was an accident, but that was not known at the time. Also, that was just the final straw. We did not go to war for one ship.
None. The ship that exploded in Havana Harbor on 15 February 1898 was a US ship named the USS Maine. It had been in port for three weeks in case an evacuation of American civilians living there was required. The mysterious explosion which caused the sinking remains of an unidentified origin. America did not blow up the USS Maine. Spain probably did not blow up the USS Maine but it was blamed for it.
