Key West Cemetery


An interesting place, this. The cemetery is divided into several
sections such as a Catholic section and a Jewish section.


This section stands in memory of the sinking of the USS Maine,
which blew up in Havana Harbor killing some 260 sailors, a 
disaster which led to the USA declaring war on Spain. Besides
two dozen of the dead lying here, there are other Spanish-American
war veterans buried nearby.


Another wild rooster of Key West. This is probably not a good
place to crow, no one to wake up!


A rather ironic gravestone!


A beautiful statue of an angle overlooks this gravesite.


In the Jewish section of the cemetery, visitors leave stones
on the graves per Jewish tradition.
