Join me as I check out the Cuban-American Friendship Urn. This monument is just north of the Tidal Basin, next to the 14 Street Bridge in East Potomac Park, on Ohio Drive in Washington D.C. (right next to a parking lot).
This marble monument was originally placed in Cuba to honor the Americans who died in Havana harbor aboard the USS Maine during the Spanish-American War in 1898. But, in the fall of 1926, a hurricane toppled the original monument. In 1928 Cuban President Gerardo Machado presented the urn to U.S. President Calvin Coolidge.
The National Park Service state the urn was placed in a West Potomac Park rose garden in 1928. Sometime after that, it is believed the urn was then placed in front of the Cuban Embassy. Where it stayed until political relations between the U.S.A. and Cuba deteriorated following Fidel Castro’s rise to power in 1959. The monument then disappeared. Some suspect it was stolen during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, or removed for a construction project.
In 1996, The Washington City Paper reported that the urn had recently been found lying on its side in Rock Creek Park. The Park Service reported that it was discovered in a National Park Service warehouse and moved to it’s present site following repair work…just off Ohio Drive in East Potomac Park, Washington D.C.
