THE SINKING OF THE MAINE


copyright AMB

The Maine was an American battle ship. It blew up in Havana harbor on February 15, 1898. It started the Spanish-American war because it was believed to be sabotaged. It turned out to be a coal explosion.






I did this sketch a couple of years ago after seeing the picture in a history encyclopedia that we have. I get a lot of my ideas for drawings from books. I especially like to use black and white pictures.

Great job on the picture Andy! I don't think I could do it that well if I tried!
