Cuba - Province of Havana - Havana: On Havana's Malecon, the broad boulevard which runs long the city's waterfront on the gulf of Mexico, stands the Maine monument in memory of the heroes of the dastardly sinking of the U.S. Battleship Maine which went to Cuba for a visit. The Spaniards sank the ship, blowing up the vessel without warning, thus touching off the fuse which ignited the Spanish American War of 1898.
