EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Cerveras Squadron's departure from Santiago in 1898 during the Spanish-American War. The image showcases a panoramic view of the exterior sea, where smoke billows from the ships as they embark on their fateful journey. The photograph depicts a significant chapter in Cuban history, representing both transportation and warfare in the early 20th century. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene, we witness the immense power and vulnerability of naval battleships engaged in combat. The composition highlights Admiral Pascual Cervera's squadron as it sets sail into uncertain waters. Tragically, one by one, these mighty vessels succumb to enemy fire - first Maria Teresa, followed by Vizcaya and Colon. Even destroyers Anger and Pluto are not spared from destruction. This remarkable cigar card print is part of "The History of Cuba" series produced by Geografico Universal for Susini y La Corona Cigar Company. It serves as a visual reminder of an era marked by conflict and territorial disputes. As we reflect on this snapshot frozen in time, let us remember the bravery displayed by those who fought valiantly for their countries amidst turbulent seas. This image transports us back to an era when nations clashed on waterways, forever shaping our understanding of naval warfare in the 19th century.
