Title in Biograph picture catalogue [MI] and Biograph Co. prod. records [MI]: Wreck of the "Viscaya"

CREATED/PUBLISHED edit

United States : American Mutoscope and Biograph Company, [1898].

Summary edit

From the Biograph picture catalogue: 27 feet. This is a wonderfully impressive picture, taken on the morning after the battle in which the Spanish navy was destroyed. This battleship, once the "Pride of Spain," is shown a ruined hulk on the beach, the terrible effect of the guns of Uncle Sam's warships being apparent everywhere. Contrasted with our earlier picture of the "Viscaya" in New York Harbor ["Vizcaya" under full headway], the "Viscaya" here presents a woeful appearance.
