		The OLYMPIA was built at the Union Iron Works in San Francisco and was commissioned in 1895 as a modern warship, powered by two 9,000-horsepower steam engines and armed with guns and torpedo tubes.
		During the First World War, the OLYMPIA served as an escort ship in the Atlantic Ocean, and her last assignment, in 1921, was transporting the body of the Unknown Soldier from Europe to Arlington National Cemetery.
		Today the OLYMPIA - the nation's oldest surviving steel-hulled warship - is owned by the Independence Seaport Museum in Philadelphia, PA. Open to the public as a museum, the OLYMPIA has recently been repainted and looks as beautiful as she did in her best days.

	maine
		By contrast, her contemporary, the USS TEXAS, was the product of a design competition, based on an English design, and constructed by a naval contractor.
		Later studies have indicated the possibility that the USS MAINE sunk as a result of a coal bunker fire adjacent to one of its ammunition magazines, and not a result of a Spanish mine.
		Her coal capacity was quite low at 895 tons (significantly lower capacity than either that of a cruiser such as OLYMPIA or a battleship like OREGON) As a result the length of time she could spend at sea was limited, and her ability to run at flank speed, where coal consumption increased dramatically, was limited.
