  • Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
    Guantanamo Bay, Cuba We hear of Guantanamo in the news frequently these days, and probably will for the foreseeable future, but what is its history; why do we own it? For Europeans, the first mention is by Columbus, who anchored there on his second trip to the New World in April, 1494. He was impressed enough by its geography that he named it Puerto Grande (large, or impressive port). In 1741, while England was at war with Spain, a British admiral, with 61 vessels, took possession of the facility, and retained it for the duration of hostilities. Before and after this the harbor had been the lair of the pirates plying the Windward Passage. Guantanamo Bay has an area of fifteen square miles and is protected by dust-brown, scrub-covered mountains shielding it from observation or bombardment by sea, and sheltered from the force of hurricanes. It is relatively isolated from the rest of Cuba; the town of Guantanamo is 14 miles inland and the town of Santiago was 40 miles to the west. The Spanish continued to rule Cuba among growing discontent by the Cubans. A main point of contention was that Spain had not abolished slavery there until the 1880s, and the populace was racked by disease, malnutrition, ignorance and Spanish cruelty. As the nineteenth century wound down, there was an open revolt in progress in Oriente [eastern] Province, and because of this, the Spanish had to maintain a 7,000 man army there. Then came the Spanish-American War. The United States was in an expansionist mode, and because Spain held several pieces of real estate scattered around the world that we coveted, and at the same time did not have a powerful military, she attracted the attention of the United States.

  • NAVAL BATTLE of SANTIAGO DE CUBA BY: FRANCIS T, SIGISMONTI on February 18, 1898 the USS Maine Was Torpedoed and Sunk with a Loss of Over Two Hundred Men
    THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR - NAVAL BATTLE OF SANTIAGO DE CUBA BY: FRANCIS T, SIGISMONTI On February 18, 1898 the USS Maine was torpedoed and sunk with a loss of over two hundred men. Realizing war was imminent the American Fleet had started prep- arations for a conflict as early as January. After the sinking of the Maine, the fleet was ordered to Key West, Florida under the command of Admiral William T. Sampson. Two months later, April twenty-second, President McKinley or- dered a blockade of all major Cuban ports which two days later the Spanish answered with a declaration of war. We reciprocated the next day. The prime objective of the Navy was the Spanish Fleet under Ad- miral Pascual Cervera y Topete. This Spanish Fleet prevented any sort of force from crossing the ninety mile span from Florida to Cuba to engage the Spanish land forces then occupying the area known as the Province of Cienfuegos which included Havana. Another reason for the United States’ concern over Cervera’s fleet was the fact that the entire east coast of the United States was open to attack. In this case they were mistaken as the south- ern portion was closely guarded by the Flying Squadron under Com- modore Schley and the northern portion was too far to travel with- out a suitable means of refueling. An attack on New York City for instance would have been suicide as all their coal would have been expended just getting there. Soon after the blockade was set up in Havana harbor, Commodore Schley met Admiral Sampson to discuss such matters as the disper- sion of ships, blockade procedures and the necessary communications with the Cuban insurgents.

Savez Read In a recent issue of this journal a reviewer rightly observed, "Biographies of Civil War-era naval officers are a scarce commodity and those of Southern officers are even more rare." That is why the publication of Sea Hawk of the Confederacy and Confederate Corsair is worthy of note. The fact that they are about the same naval officer, and a junior officer at that, makes the event even more interesting and rare. Charles Read is unquestionably one junior officer who rates a biography. Read's Civil War career is so fascinating that it reads like a novel. It certainly is the kind of story that should attract some movie producer. Although the books' titles, "Sea Hawk" and "Corsair," suggest that Read was a pirate (another earlier biographer, Bob Weems, called him a "Buccaneer"), in reality he was a naval officer whose activities were well within the bounds of legitimate warfare, namely the destruction of an enemy's sea-going commerce.

  • Sampson-Schley Controversy
    Sampson-Schley Controversy The Sampson-Schley Controversy grew out of differences of opinion over who should get credit for the July 3, 1898, victory of the American fleet in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba. Acting rear admiral William T. Sampson was in charge of the American naval force blockading the Cuban port of Santiago, but he did not anticipate that Spanish rear admiral Pascual Cervera y Topete’s squadron would sortie. Sampson was en route to a conference with V Corps commander Major General William Shafter when the Spanish fleet emerged from the port. Commodore Winfield Scott Schley was the ranking officer in the blockading squadron in the absence of Sampson and hoisted a signal for all ships to engage the Spanish. But the ships on blockade duty moved to attack the Spanish vessels on their own. At the sound of gunfire, Sampson’s ship, the armored cruiser New York, turned back to rejoin the fleet but did not arrive until the end of the battle. Although Sampson claimed credit for the victory in his report to the secretary of the navy, most newspaper reports gave Schley credit for the victory. Alfred T. Mahan argued that victory was due to Sampson’s placement of the blockading force and that he deserved the praise. After the battle, Sampson wrote a confidential report to Secretary of the Navy John D. Long that criticized Schley’s actions in the weeks before the battle. When this report became known later, Schley’s supporters accused Sampson of duplicity. These supporters grew resentful after both men were promoted to the permanent rank of rear admiral, but Sampson was advanced eight places on the navy list, while Schley was advanced six.

  • The Heroic Image of a Pennsylvania Sailor
    The Heroic Image of a Pennsylvania Sailor ANY United States sailors have died in service to their country, and most are remembered or mourned by family M and friends, but time erodes the individual identities of countless men whose collective contribution is unmistakable and whose individual legacy is minimal. Only a few great leaders or controversial figures leave a more permanent or unforgettable im- print, thanks to biographers, historians, journalists and maritime aficionados. This natural or at least predictable course has an interesting exception in the Baltimore affair of 1891-1892. Here the diplomacy of the imbroglio, which almost led to war with Chile, and the personalities and ploys of President Benjamin Harrison, Secretary of State James G. Blaine, Secretary of the Navy Benjamin F. Tracy, American Minister Patrick Egan and Captain Winfield Scott Schley have obscured the equally fascinating public reaction to the unfortunate and unproductive death of a Pennsylvania Boatswain's Mate. Patriotic defender of flag and country or insti- gator of a drunken brawl, Philadelphia-born Charles W. Riggin was, for a short time, so celebrated and honored that his death outside a bar in Valparaiso, Chile, was elevated to heroic proportions. He served on the U.S.S. Baltimore^ a cruiser of English design built at Philadelphia by William Cramp and Sons' shipbuilding works, at that time one of the largest in the nation. The ship was commissioned on January 7, 1890 (contracted in August 1885). Heavily armed and with a crew of 301, she displaced 4,600 tons. Her engines had 10,065 horsepower capacity, and could maintain a speed of 19.5 knots.

  • USS Maine Memorial Riverdale Cemetery
    www.riverdaleporterdale.org Fall 2019 USS Maine Memorial Riverdale Cemetery The battleship USS Maine was dispatched to Havana Harbor in early 1898 in response to rising tensions between Cuba and Spain. When it sank on February 15 of that year, initial reports concluded that it had been attacked by a Spanish naval mine. This sparked a wave of outrage in the United States, pushing the nation toward entering the conflict. “Remember the Maine” became the rallying cry for the Spanish-American War. As time passed, some came to believe that the explosion was actually caused by a coal dust fire and the reason remains contested. Of the 355 officers and sailors aboard, 260 died as a result of the explosion. On November 12, 1954, the local Winfield S. Schley* Camp 13, Spanish-American War Veterans, dedicated a memorial to the USS Maine in Riverdale Cemetery as part of local Veteran’s Day activities. The Camp, which had 11 members, raised funds to pay for the memorial, including holding a carnation sale on May 1, 1954 to th coincide with the 56 anniversary of the decisive American victory at the Battle of Manila Bay. The USS Maine memorial is a stone marker, about five feet tall and featuring a bronze plaque made from metal salvaged from the sunken ship. It is located in the American Legion section of Riverdale. This area is also the final resting place of more than 20 veterans of the Spanish-American War, as well as hundreds more who served our country, including many who fought in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
