Altogether, there were only 89 survivors, 18 of whom were officers. Naval Historical Center On March 28, the US Naval Court of Inquiry in Key West declared that a naval mine caused the explosion.The explosion was a precipitating cause of the Spanish-American War that began in April 1898.

Supporters of this theory believe that spontaneous combustion of the coal in bunker A16 created a fire that detonated the nearby magazines, which shared a common uninsulated steel wall with bunker A16.Spontaneous combustion of coal was a fairly frequent problem on ships built after the American Civil War.

Alternatively, the mine could have been used by Cuban rebels in the hopes that the attack on the Maine would be blamed on the Spanish and so trigger a war between the United States and Spain.Some, but not all, of the witnesses stated that they heard two distinct explosions several seconds apart. They believed if anything else besides a mine had triggered the magazine explosion, then witnesses would have only heard one blast, because the only explosion would have been of the magazines, unless all of the munitions contained in the magazine did not explode in the primary explosion and instead exploded sequentially in the resulting fire (which did occur).

These fires were difficult to detect because they could smolder for hours at low heat, giving off no smoke or flame and without raising the temperature high enough to trigger the alarm systems on board.Reports indicate that bunker A16 on the Maine had been inspected for the final time on February 15 at 8:00 a.m.

Begun in December 1910, a huge waterproof cofferdam was built around the wreck and water was pumped out, finally exposing the wreck by late summer 1911.
