Spain, wresting from that nation ownership of what is now much of the

In 1975, an investigation led by Admiral Hyman Rickover examined the
data recovered from a 1911 examination of the wreck and concluded that
there had been no evidence of an external explosion. The most likely
cause of the sinking was a coal dust explosion in a coal bunker
imprudently located next to the ship's magazines. Captain Sigsbee's
caution had been well founded. >>
When I lived in Florida, I met a gentleman of Cuban descent who said his
grandfather (then a young teen) was standing on the dock when the explosion
occurred. He had always said it was from inside the ship. Of course if
you're trying to foment a war, you wouldn't want to know that sort of thing.

and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
