Title	San Juan Hill battle site
Summary	Two men, one rowing, sit in a sailboat with its sail tied up in the right foreground in the harbor of Santiago, Cuba. Two hills converge in the background. The hill on the left is the site of the Morro Castle. Several sailboats are moored in the harbor at the base of that hill. At the base of the hill on the right, probably San Juan Hill, is a building with several docks adjoining it. San Juan Hill was the site of a famous battle during the Spanish-American War.
