At 9:40 P.M. on February 15, 1898, "Maine" sank in Havana Harbor after suffering a massive explosion. More than 3/4 of the ship's crew of 355 sailors, officers and marines died as a result of the explosion. Of the 94 survivors only 16 were uninjured. In total, 260 men were killed in the initial explosion, six more died shortly thereafter from injuries, marking the greatest loss of life for the American military in a single day since the defeat at Little Bighorn twenty years prior.
