Softcover; 5 by 7 inches -- 32 pages Account of the Blockade and Final Destruction of the Spanish Fleet Under Command of Admiral Pasquale Cervera, July 3, 1898 The battle between the Brooklyn and the Vizcaya was ferocious for a time as the ships steamed west, but the quality weaponry of the Brooklyn overwhelmed it, not to mention the Oregon which was astern and firing. The Vizcaya, terribly damaged after a torpedo exploded internally and on fire, was forced to also beach itself. By this time the Oquendo and the Spanish destroyers had also been overwhelmed by American fire. Last page shows "Tribute to Rear-Admiral Schley by Admiral George Dewey, USA" Green leather type cover with an alligator finish. Scarce copy. Very good with slightly bumped corners. Portrait frontis and illustrations. Very back page show a light penciled square drawn. Can be erased. Please see photos, enlarge and email with any questions prior to purchase. Thanks for looking. |
