Description
An account of the resource
At the southwest corner of Central Park adjacent to Columbus Circle stands the massive memorial fountain honoring the USS Maine and those who served in the Spanish-American War in 1898. The monument is composed of a large granite pylon topped by a gilded statue of a female figure on a clam shell chariot being drawn by three seahorses; this is known as Columbia Triumphant. In front of the pylon is a group of symbolic figures representing courage and victory as well as justice. The names of those who were lost on the USS Maine are inscribed on one side of the pylon. The memorial composed mainly of granite and marble was designed by H. Van Buren Magonigle and Attilio Piccirilli.

Description
An account of the resource
On February 15, 1898 the USS Maine exploded in Havana, Cuba and took the lives of 253 men (2 officers and 251 enlisted). This memorial is centered around the main mast of the Maine which is set in a very large granite circular building that represents the gun turret of the Maine. The interior is lined with marble Around this circular structure are inscribed the names of those who were lost on the Maine. Solid bronze doors provide access into the interior and on them is set 1/2 of the bell from the Maine with the inscription of the ship's commissioning date. An outer bronze gate adorned with 3 anchors guards the door. Beside the entrance are two large granite urns. Near the mast monument is a ship's anchor and several cannon captures from the Spanish. A plaque on the anchor indicates that those interned nearby were brought from their original burial site in Havana to lie together here in honor in 1899. Behind the mast monument are buried 229 members of the Maine's crew of which only 62 are known.
