When the U.S.S. battleship Maine mysteriously exploded in Havana harbor on February 15, 1898, it set off the Spanish-American War, that "splendid little war" which forever changed the United States' position among nations. "Remember the Maine " was the outraged public's call for battle, but here it is a call to remember the seemingly star-crossed ship and the more than 260 young men who perished with it. Author John Edward Weems tells the story of the ship from beginning to explosive end, with the help of the Maine's survivors, whom he interviewed in 1957. The text of this edition has not been revised, for good reason. Since the book's first publication in 1958, no conclusive evidence of what caused the fatal explosion has ever been found.

Pretty initial necklace
Color: A, Color: A
This is a cute necklace that I ordered for my daughter. This necklace is nice because it's decent quality but I wouldn't be devastated if it broke or got lost. The initial is nicely made and the chain is delicate. It's the perfect size for my 7 year old and I think my 11 year old would also like it. When I ordered it, it was $15 but now there is a coupon to make it $12 which is a great value. I would buy it for myself if it was silver. It comes in a nice box that makes it great for gifting.

Great for daughter or friend!
Color: E, Color: E
This is absolutely perfect for a daughter for Valentine’s Day or a gift just to give. The initial is in a gold with a gold chain and a precious pink heart. Easy to use gold clasp to put it on or off. The chain seems pretty regular like most chains, but seems durable enough to wear everyday. It hasn’t tarnished or turned any necks green so it’s skin safe I would say. Wouldn’t recommend showering with it, but it has stayed gold with no tarnish. It is simple and cute for a friend, daughter, even a mom.

Great for my 8 year old daughter. Dainty and elegant
Color: K, Color: K
This necklace is perfect for my 8 year old daughter. She loves dressing up her clothes with fun necklaces and this one is so elegant and pretty.
The chain is very thin so be mindful of that. It could definitely easily break if not taken care of. I do like that it has an adjustable clasp so I can shorten it to where she likes it. The chain is actually a good length so there is room to grow.
It is plated so definitely not recommended to wear in water of any kind as it will eventually turn. For the price it’s a good little necklace for younger girls and having their initial on it will be something special for them.
The box it comes in is sweet and has a really motivational saying in it.

Must have
This initial necklace is adorable. The gold tone is pretty and shiny without looking cheap, and the pink heart adds the perfect little pop of color. It feels lightweight but well made, and the clasp is easy to use while still feeling secure. I bought it for my daughter and it’s the perfect everyday necklace cute, simple, and special without being over the top. It’s held up well so far with no discoloration, and it looks great layered or worn alone. Such a great little personalized piece.

Beautiful necklace!
I got this beautiful necklace with my daughter’s initial and I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived.
It is a 18K gold plated chain and pendant, it looks high quality, and it is very light. My toddler loves the little pink heart, it’s quite the dainty detail!
It makes for a beautiful present for your daughter, niece, friend, or loved one.
The price is amazing, too! Go grab one or 5!
