About

This urn was carved from a piece of a memorial honoring the victims of the USS Maine explosion in Havana Harbor. The original memorial was destroyed in a hurricane. The refashioned urn was given to President Calvin Coolidge when he visited Cuba in 1928. The urn depicts two figures representing the United States and Cuba joining hands over a depiction of the USS Maine sinking.
