This is an 1898 James Gale Tyler chromolithograph view of the Battle of Manila Bay, which took place on May 1, 1898. The battle, between the American Asiatic Squadron under Commodore George Dewey and the Spanish Pacific Squadron under Admiral Patricio Montojo, was one of the most decisive naval battles in history and effectively ended Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines. The view depicts the Dewey's flagship, the U.S.S. Olympia, as well as the U.S.S. Baltimore and the U.S.S. Boston all firing their guns at the Spanish fleet, the Castilla (Castilia), Montojo's flagship, and the Reina Cristina, both of which are engulfed in flame. Commodore Dewey reported that the American fleet suffered nine injured and one fatality, due to a heart attack. Those numbers are disputed by some historians. (more details)
