FANTASTIC U.S.S. MAINE GROUPING OF A MICHIGAN
SAILOR INCLUDING PHOTOS OF THE SECOND BURIAL
OF THE ORIGINAL MAINE SAILORS KILLED IN CUBA -
38 piece archive of U.S.S. Maine material ( the second
Maine) belonging to Frederick F. McGuire of Saginaw,
Michigan who was on the Maine until 1907. The group
contains 19 photographs, 12 documents including his
Discharge, his Coxswain Appointment, Pension papers, etc.,
a U.S.S. Maine hatband (the original owner of the group had
two of these and sold the extra for $500.), 2 gunnery patches,
2 lanyards (mint condition), a 1902 Petty Officers Drill Book,
and one notepad with extensive notes on the armament of
the ship along with the ammunition, gun crews, notes on
aiding wounded, etc. Included in the photographs (most
of them in large format - on the 'additional images' page the
sizes are beneath the images) are 7 photos which are
supposed to be (according to the family) the burial of the
Sailors of the original U.S.S. Maine. This was the second
burial when the ship had been recovered several years after
the War to recover the trapped bodies inside then taking the
ship out to her final resting place in the ocean. These photos
I believe to be unpublished as I have been unable to find any
references or publications with these included. They consist
of the arrival of the bodies by boat, the funeral procession to
the cemetery and the burial scene showing a mass number of
fresh graves. The photos had been numbered to show the
sequence of events. Quite a nice and historical group of
images. Other photos show the Maine, one docked next to
the U.S.S. Missouri. There are also images of McGuire and
some of his sailor friends (unfortunately these are
unmarked). A very nice and historical grouping which also
shows the tight bond between the original U.S.S. Maine and
it's namesake and that solemn chore of the recovery and
proper burial of those that had been still trapped in the ship
after the explosion in Havana that triggered the
Spanish-American War. Some photos have small chips in the
mounts and an occasional mar in the photo itself but overall
a group in very good condition.

VETERAN'S PICNIC RIBBON - Ribbon for the Second Annual USWV
Picnic held at Pleasant Lake (not sure what state) on July 20, 1924.
Ribbon is in very good condition and still retains the straight pin used to
pin it to the veteran's chest. I had this ribbon on the site a long while ago
and had thought I sold it at a show but has just turned up in one of my
show boxes, so on the site it goes again.
