160806-N-TH437-189 WASHINGTON (Aug. 6, 2016) Contractors secure the 6-inch, 30 caliber gun from the Navy battleship Maine onto a truck bed at the Washington Navy Yard. The Maine attained infamy when it was sunk in Havana Harbor, Cuba, being the catalyst of the Spanish-American War in 1898. The Naval History and Heritage Command contracted WLCC to perform extensive conservation work on the gun to preserve it for future generations.
