A United States Navy ship became one of the ten historic ships not because of its success stories. But because of a mysterious explosion that split in two and killed most of its crew. It happened in 1898 while anchored in Havana, Cuba. The cause of the explosions is still unknown, but it is suspected that sabotage led to the Spanish- American War. By 1911 there were remains of the ship removed from the port to clear the passage for sea navigation.
