1912 The Maine Buried at Sea
HAVANA — The wreck of the Maine was towed out of the harbor and buried at sea to-day. The ceremonies attending the final sinking of the battleship began last night with a banquet at the American Club. Father Chidwick, who was the chaplain of the Maine, delivered the memorial address. The boxes containing the remains of bodies found in the wreck were taken to the City Hall, where they lay in state during the night. Business was entirely suspended to-day. There was a great display of American and Cuban flags entwined with crape. Father Chidwick celebrated a solemn requiem mass this morning.
