EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1920s, capturing the mighty Vesubio battleship in all its glory. Originally built in 1898, this warship played a significant role during the Spanish-American War. The image showcases the exterior of the ship, standing tall and powerful against the backdrop of the sea. The Vesubio battleship holds a remarkable historical event within its legacy. On that fateful midnight of June 15th, 1898, it unleashed three colossal bombs weighing an astonishing 250 pounds each. One of these explosive projectiles found its target on Cayo Smith near Santiago de Cuba, leaving an indelible mark on history. Transportation enthusiasts will appreciate this snapshot as it represents a pivotal moment in naval warfare during the late 19th century. With compressed air cannons and dynamite at their disposal, ships like Vesubio revolutionized battle strategies at sea. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece from yesteryears, we are transported to an era where nations fought for supremacy over vast waters. This photograph serves as a reminder of America's rich history and its involvement in shaping global events. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can now admire this piece from "The History of Cuba" cigar card collection by Geografico Universal. It is truly fascinating how such small collectibles hold immense cultural significance even after decades have passed since their creation.
