Dive The Sunken Spanish-American War Shipwrecks: Underwater Archaeological Park

The landscape of Santiago de Cuba is a living museum of the Spanish-American War, where the “Last Empire” of Spain met its end in 1898. After you walk the history on iconic land-based fortifications then take a unique opportunity to dive (or even snorkel) the remains of Admiral Cervera’s fleet including a half dozen warships:  Cristobal Colon, Vizcaya, Orquendo, Pluton, Furor & The USS Merrimac. See them  from an archaeologist’s perspective!
