This view of the Spanish Cruiser CRISTOBAL
COLON shows the ship's officers on the gun deck. In the
background is one of the vessel's main 25.4 cm (10 inch) gun turrets
without its gun. The vessel never received the guns and the turrets would
still be empty at the Battle of Santiago.
In the center of the group is Capitan de Navio (Captain) Don Emilio
Diaz Moreu.
