Louis, Missouri
This gun, removed from the ALMIRANTE OQUENDO
rests in the village park in Palmyra, New York, the hometown of Admiral William Sampson. Sampson commanded the
squadron which engaged the Spanish at the Battle
of Santiago, though Sampson and his
flagship, the armored cruiser NEW YORK, were
too far away to take an active part in the battle.
Below is a close-up of the gun's breech.
