USS Maine National Monument
The ''USS Maine National Monument'' is an outdoor monument, located in Central Park in Manhattan, New York. It was cast on September 1, 1912 and dedicated on May 30, 1913 to the men killed aboard when the ship exploded in Havana harbor.
In 1913, a USS ''Maine'' Monument designed by Harold Van Buren Magonigle was completed and dedicated in New York City. Located at the southwest corner of Central Park at the Merchants' Gate entrance to the park, the monument consists of a pylon with a fountain at its base and sculptures by Attilio Piccirilli surrounding it.〔
〕 A sculpture group of gilded bronze figures atop the pylon represent Columbia Triumphant, her seashell chariot being drawn by three hippocampi. The bronze for this group reportedly came from metal recovered from the guns of the ''Maine''. On the park side of the monument is fixed a memorial plaque that was cast in metal salvaged from the ship.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 U.S.S. Maine National Monument )〕 It is not known how many of these plaques by sculptor Charles Keck were produced, but they can be found in many locations across the United States. They were cast by the Jno Bronze Foundry and widely publicized.
