For thousands of years, indigenous peoples were the only inhabitants of the territory that is now Maine. At the time of European encounter, several Algonquian-speaking peoples inhabited the area. The first European settlement in Maine was by the French in 1604 on Saint Croix Island, by Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons. The first English settlement in Maine, the short-lived Popham Colony, was established by the Plymouth Company in 1607. A number of English settlements were established along the coast of Maine in the 1620s, although the rugged climate, deprivations, and conflict with the local peoples caused many to fail over the years.
The Maine, a unique armoured cruiser of the United States Navy, is today's subject.

Did Spain sink the USS Maine (and start the Spanish-American War)?
Is Spain to blame for the maiming of the Maine? Well, we'll get there. It's a bit complicated because we lack information about the topic, so I did what I could. Remember, I'm an idiot with a microphone. Not an expert. Take what I say with a grain of salt, and don't complain in the comments.

The 'where' of the USS Maine's sinking stands revealed, even if the 'how' remains a mystery
The Spanish-American War battle cry of "Remember the Maine" gained new currency with the discovery of the ship's wreckage off the coast of Cuba in November 2000.
published: 15 Feb 2021
U.S.S. Maine - Decades TV Network
The battleship U.S.S. Maine’s mission from Washington was a friendly one: travel to Cuba to protect America’s interests on the island as Spain’s “Campaign of Suppression” was in full force. But on February 15, 1898 an onboard explosion killed 260 officers. At the time it was believed that a mine, placed by Spain, had struck the ship. A U.S. and Cuban alliance formed and demanded Spain leave the island. Spain instead declared war and so did the U.S. Congress which launched the Spanish-American War in 1898. But, the U.S.S. Maine wasn’t hit by a mine at all…
