Monument to the Victims of the USS Maine, Memorial monument in Vedado, Havana, Cuba.
The monument features two tall Ionic columns constructed with Carrara marble and bronze elements, displaying cannons and an anchor chain at its base.
Constructed in 1925 by architect Felix Cabarrocas, this memorial honors American sailors who died when the USS Maine battleship exploded in Havana harbor in 1898.
The monument's modifications after 1961 reflect changes in Cuban-American relations, with removal of the bronze eagle and addition of new inscriptions.
Located along Malecon boulevard at the end of Linea Street, the monument stands near Hotel Nacional and remains open for public viewing without admission fees.
The original bronze eagle that topped the monument now resides in the United States Embassy in Havana, while its body undergoes restoration at the City History Museum.
