NOTES

Lithography by L. Prang & Co, 1897. Charles Dwight Sigsbee was a rear admiral in the United States Navy. A pioneering oceanographer and hydrographer who developed the Sigsbee sounding machine, he is now best remembered as the captain of USS Maine, which exploded in Havana Harbor, Cuba, in 1898 and set off the events that led to the start of the Spanish–American War.
