Paley, William Daly. Decker, Karl. Thomas A. Edison, Inc. (March 27, 1898). "Funeral of nine of the victims of the "Maine" disaster". loc.gov. Retrieved 19 March 2018. Taken at Key West, Fla. First comes a detachment of sailors and marines in the left foreground, while at the right is seen a crowd of small colored boys, which precedes any public procession in the South. Then follow the nine hearses, each coffin draped with THE FLAG. At the side of each wagon walk the pall bearers, surviving comrades, their heads bowed in attitudes of grief. Next come naval officers and marines, and lastly a procession of carriages, followed by a large crowd on foot.{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)
I am editing this page for the first time, and came across this word, "sponsoned", it appears to be a typo, but maybe it is some obscure nautical word. Can anyone please clarify for me? Iljhgtn (talk) 21:41, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am leaving it intact in one instance for now as in this line. "The two main gun turrets were sponsoned out over the sides of the ship and echeloned to allow both to fire fore and aft." and "These guns were mounted in twin hydraulically powered Mark 3 turrets, the fore turret sponsoned to starboard and the aft turret sponsoned to port."

There is a memorial to the Maine in Nay Aug Park in Scranton, PA (adjacent to the Everheart Museum) with an artillery shell and porthole cover. See photos attached. 107.77.204.224 (talk) 16:01, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There a harv citation with content "DANFS Maine (ACR-1).", which generates the big red error message "Harv error: link from CITEREFDANFS_Maine_(ACR-1) doesn't point to any citation." (if you have visibility of those messages turned on). This usually happens when someone deletes material containing the full citation without cleaning up after sortenened footnotes that refer to it, though occassionally it's an error in the original citation. — SMcCandlish☏¢ 😼 22:35, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
