	William Sampson
		Sampson sided with the British, arguing that the line had to run through an established national observatory that would be in telegraphic communication with the rest of the world, and pointing out that 70% of the world’s mariners already relied on the Greenwich system.
		Sampson experimented with different types of ammunition hoists for the battleships, equipping the battleship MAINE with a steam-powered mechanism, the battleship TEXAS with a manual device, the OREGON with a hydraulic machine, and the battleship MASSACHUSETTS with an electric hoist.
		In an attempt to break this deadlock, Sampson detached the NEW YORK from the fleet and steamed toward the Army base at Siboney to confer with Shafter on the morning of 3 July.

		U.S. President William McKinley had hoped to avoid war with Spain, but he was swept along on the wave of national feeling in support of war.
		Such a clamor arose for protection that the commander of the North Atlantic Squadron, Rear Admiral William Thomas Sampson, was forced to leave half of his squadron at Hampton Roads, Virginia, to discourage the Spanish from bombarding U.S. seaports.
		Sampson had finally pried this squadron loose after Civil War monitors—heavily armored ships used for coastal bombardment—had been substituted for the squadron’s ships in the harbors along the U.S. coast.
