EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the sinking of the Merrimac. Taken in the 1920s, this image transports us back to June 3rd, 1898, when Lieutenant Richmond Hobson made a bold move to obstruct the Cerveras squadron's escape route during the Spanish-American War. The scene unfolds in Cuba, with its picturesque coastal backdrop adding an eerie beauty to the destruction that lies before us. The damaged coal vessel Merrimac dominates the frame as it slowly sinks into the port channel. Smoke billows from its structure, symbolizing both chaos and defiance. As we delve deeper into this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded of the bravery exhibited by those involved in this battle. Lieutenant Richmond Pearson Hobson takes center stage as he executes his daring plan to hinder Admiral Pascual Cervera's fleet. This print not only serves as a visual record but also sparks our curiosity about transportation and war strategies of that era. It encapsulates a pivotal moment within Cuba's history while offering glimpses into early twentieth-century naval warfare. Preserved through time on a cigar card from "Geografico Universal" produced by Susini y La Corona Tabacalera Cubana for propaganda purposes, this print stands as a testament to human resilience and determination amidst conflict. Let it serve as a reminder of past struggles and triumphs that have shaped our world today.
