The Hulk of the ANTONIO LOPEZ
Please Visit our Home
Page to learn more about the Spanish American War
This image is of the burned out hulk of
the ANTONIO LOPEZ, which had attempted
to run the blockade surrounding Puerto Rico, ran aground and was
subsequently set ablaze by incendiary shells from the U.S. Cruiser NEW
ORLEANS. The Spanish had time, however, to completely unload her before
she was set afire.
Here, she is completely burned out, with her bulkheads beginning to
collapse inwards from a lack of support.
