TO RAISE THE MAINE

bottom closed. Engineering history
fails to disclose a Golfer dam OF the
mammoth proportions that would be
required to enclose the Maine. for il
must be as long as a city block and
as high as five or SIX story build-
ing, from the bottom of the timbers
TO the top. Its cost would probably
exceed the total appropriations. So
what the engineers probably will do
is to make a thorough preliminary
investigation. This will cost n good
deal OF money and occupy much
time. In fact. IL is reasonably cer-
tain that congress can tell just how
much money IL will cost to raise
the ship. Then, IL congress should
decide to supply the deficiency in
the appropriation. the wreckers will
go ahead with their work. Other
wise IL seems probable that the
Maine will be broken up under water
and removed. piecemeal, from che
bottom of the harbor.
The Paducah evening sun., 1910-06-29

OF course the army engineers will
do their best to carry out the wishes
OF congress. twice expressed that an
effort shall be made to raise the
wreck of the battleship Maine from
the bottom OF Havana harbor. where
IL lies embedded in twenty-seven
feet OF slime and ooze. But the
engineers are frank to confess they
do not know the extent of the task
before them and they believe the
100000 appropriation will not be
sufficient. So their present idea Is
to use as much OF the money as may
be necessary TO make a thorough ex-
animation of the wreck and the sur
rounding bottom of the harbor.
The only known method OF raisJ
ing a ship in the condition OF the
Maine is to surround her with a
Golfer dam from which the water
can be pumped, allowing the hull
to be drained and the holes I'm the
