USS Maine Monument, Naval memorial at Columbus Circle entrance of Central Park, United States
The USS Maine National Monument features a central pylon with a fountain base and bronze sculptures, crowned by Columbia riding a seashell chariot.
The memorial, dedicated on May 30, 1913, honors 266 American sailors who perished when the USS Maine battleship exploded in Havana Harbor in 1898.
The monument incorporates symbolic figures representing the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, along with allegorical sculptures depicting Courage, Justice, and Fortitude.
Located at the intersection of Central Park West and Columbus Circle, visitors can access the monument through multiple subway stations and bus routes.
The bronze sculptures atop the memorial were crafted using metal recovered from the guns of the sunken USS Maine battleship.
