| Description | Spanish Gunboats at New York Harbour |
| Details |
A line of tied Spanish gunboats waits at the port of New York, en route to Cuba. On the left, a large paddle steamer flying a flag with 'New York' written on it, as dock workers tie up and manage small row boats and tug boats wanting to pass or moor at a floating pontoon. Spanish forces in the Ten Years War had US support, due to American fears about an independent Cuba.
