Plaque de l'urne de l'amitié cubaine Park East Potomac Washington DC / WASHINGTON DC — Une plaque de bronze sur la base de l'urne de l'amitié cubaine dans le parc East Potomac rapporte les origines du monument dans les ruines du Maine Monument de la Havane. Inscrit en espagnol, le texte indique que l'urne a été sculptée à partir d'un fragment de la colonne de marbre du monument aux victimes du Maine, érigé à la Havane, qui a été renversé par l'ouragan du 20 octobre 1926. Le monument original de la Havane avait été conçu par l'ingénieur cubain Félix Cabarrocas et inauguré le 8 mars 1925, pour honorer les marins tués lors de la guerre

Informations supplémentaires

Photograph by David Coleman. The Cuban Friendship Urn is a granite monument located in East Potomac Park, Washington DC, commemorating the diplomatic relationship between the United States and Cuba. The urn is adorned with detailed relief carvings, most notably an allegorical figure holding a key, which represents Havana's historical significance as the Key to the Gulf. This symbolic reference acknowledges Havana's strategic importance as a gateway to the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. The monument was sculpted by Felix de Weldon, who later gained international recognition for creating the United States Marine Corps War Memorial, commonly known as the Iwo Jima Memorial, at Arlington National Cemetery. The Cuban Friendship Urn was dedicated in 1929, during a period of closer diplomatic ties between the two nations. The monument is situated within East Potomac Park, a 328-acre (133-hectare) man-made island park that extends into the Potomac River in southwest Washington DC. The park was created through land reclamation efforts in the early 20th century and provides recreational space along the waterfront. The Cuban Friendship Urn is one of several international monuments in the nation's capital that reflect historical diplomatic relationships and cultural exchanges between the United States and other countries.
