家园 这船上有四分之三的黑人?

The ship's crew consisted of 355:

26 officers

290 sailors

39 Marines

Of these, there were 261 fatalities:

2 officers and 251 sailors/Marines either killed by the explosion or drowned

7 others were rescued but soon died of their injuries

1 officer later died of "cerebral affection" (shock)

Of the 94 survivors, only 16 were uninjured.

事实上,船上只有30名黑人,死了22个。

At this time, African Americans served in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army but not in the U.S. Marine Corps.

According to a list of "colored men on board USS Maine, February 15, 1898," 30 African Americans were among the 350 personnel on board at the time of the explosion. Of the 260 men who died, 22 were African American. They typically worked in the engine rooms; as firemen, oilers, and coal passers; or as mess attendants and landsmen. However, there were also five African American petty officers, three seamen (experienced sailors), and one ordinary seaman.
