Destruction of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor 1898 - Vintage Maritime Print — a chromolithograph rendered in the lurid orange of detonation, the battleship's forward magazine erupting against the Cuban night while smaller craft scatter across the harbor like startled gulls. The scene captures the February evening that gave a generation its rallying cry, drawn while the wreckage was still smoldering and the wires still humming.
About the Source
Bella Frye sources maritime illustrations from American archives and 19th-century lithographic publishers — Currier & Ives, the Endicott firm, Sarony & Major, and the period broadsides that documented American sea power, shipwrecks, yacht races, and naval engagements as they happened. The aged paper tone and the hand-pulled chromolithographic color are preserved in the print.
Materials & Finish
Printed to order in our Pacific Northwest studio on premium 380gsm cotton canvas with archival pigment inks. Hand-finished and framed in our signature ornate frame with verdigris corner detail, available in three finishes:
- Ebony — deep black with carved ornate detailing; dramatic against light walls
- Verdigris — aged copper-green with antique patina; the signature Bella Frye look
- Bourbon — warm walnut tone with ornate relief; rich and historically grounded
Stretched canvas (frameless gallery wrap) is available for those who prefer a frameless presentation.
Where It Belongs
Coastal homes, libraries, captain's rooms, naval offices, yacht clubs, and any space where American maritime history earns wall presence. Pairs naturally with lighthouse engineering drawings, vintage nautical charts, and other documents from the Bella Frye Maritime & Light Stations collection.

It arrived on time and my husband loves it. He has a Mustang Fastback 66 and he confirms it's accurate. It's great.
The map arrived when expected and looks great! Perfect addition to the living room.
Beautiful piece the style is incredible. I have lived and worked on the John Brown and this is perfect.
Exactly what I wanted and what the description stated.
Love it, looks great in my office
looks really nice in a black frame, just right in my brother in laws man cave
Absolutely beautiful, I couldn’t be happier with it. It is perfect in my home office. I will eventually get a better quality frame for it. I apologize for the glare, the photo does not do it justice!
I purchased this for my niece who is fascinated with American history. She LOVES this piece and has given it a prominent placement in her room. The item was beautifully framed and looks amazing. Thank you. I would definitely recommend this seller.
Lovely colors, vibrant, really lovely.
Beautifully captured canvas print with frame. Can't wait to hang it in my new home!
The map is gorgeous. It feels just like old time school maps. I didn’t think the frame looked exactly as pictured, but it is a good look overall.
Love the looks of the print
My 24 year old son drives a '71 Pinto so this was the perfect gift for him. It shipped really fast and the quality is even nicer than I expected. I would definitely recommend this for a car lover and I appreciate that there are classic cars available.
Beautiful! Exactly as described. Very pleased
Great experience, but definitely buy again
