Looking southwest at the entrance to the <i>USS Maine</i> Mast Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States. It was designed by Nathan C. Wyeth and dedicated on May 30, 1915. The base of the memorial consists of a circular mausoleum built of granite and marble, into which is set the main mast of the <i>USS Maine</i>. The memorial commemorates the 260 U.S. Navy sailors who died aboard the <i>USS Maine</i> when it exploded under mysterious circumstances on February 15, 1898.
