Hunting the USS Maine in Bangor Maine


  In Davenport Park in down town Bangor Maine is my latest find in hunting for the USS Maine.  It is the bow scroll from the ship.  Or as one person on trip advisor called it "Battleship bling.". It has been restored and painted and now is mounted on a granite replica of the ship's bow.  The scroll was recovered from the battleship when it was raised in Havana harbour after the Spanish American war.
