美國軍艦緬因號 (U.S.S. Maine) 沈沒了

美國軍艦緬因號是美國第一艘軍艦之一,同時也花了超過200萬美金的建造費。當哈瓦那發生暴動之後,美國派遣這艘軍艦前往古巴執行保護當地美國人的任務。但是當緬因號遭到擊沈,而船上354位船員中有266位因此喪生的消息傳到美國後,美國人都感到相當震驚。

The U.S.S. Maine was one of the first American battleships and cost more than $2 million to build. The ship had been sent to Cuba after riots broke out in Havana. The Maine was sent to protect American interests there. Americans were shocked when the ship exploded and sank and 266 of the 354-crew members were killed.
