Spanish Ships in the Spanish-American War part 1:

Alfonso XIII was a protected cruiser with a 276-member crew.

Emperador Carlos V - Larger and more powerful than the Cristobal Colón, this armored cruiser was one of a few Spanish ships to escape destruction of the U.S. Navy.

Marques de Ensenada - This light-armor protected warship/cruiser was with Admiral Montojo's fleet at Manila when it was destroyed by Admiral Dewey's squadron.

The Havana was the most recently constructed vessel in the Spanish Navy; it was previously the Carlo Alberto of Italy. This photograph was taken at Spezia just as the ship left the dock after the launching ceremony.

The Infanta Maria Teresa carried Admiral Cervera out of Santiago Harbor on July 3, 1898.

Spanish Ships in the Spanish-American War part 2:

The Navarra was a new ship built as a commerce destroyer for the Spanish Navy.

The Nueva España was one of a number of little gunboats to be found in the Cuban waters during the war.

This cruiser was part of Admiral Cervera's fleet. On Sunday July 3, 1898, off the coast of Santiago de Cuba, Admiral Sampson reported that the Almirante Oquendo was probably set on fire in the first fifteen minutes of the sea-fight with the United States.

General Valdes - Cuban insurgents were kept guarded within walls of the ancient castle and fortress of Monjuich which was high above the city of Barcelona. This dispatch-boat was used by the Spanish Navy to protect Monjuich.

The Varese, an armored cruiser from Italy, is shown moving form stocks at the Leghorn dockyard. The Spanish flag is being hoisted as she takes the water. The Varese saw no active duty during the war.
