After
shakedown off the Atlantic Coast, Iowa was assigned
to the Atlantic Fleet and was ordered to blockade duty, 28
May 1898, off Santiago de Cuba. On 3 July 1898, she was the
first to sight the Spanish ships approaching and fired the
first shot in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba. In a 20-minute
battle with Spanish cruisers Maria Teresa (flagship)
and Oquendo, her effective fire set both ships aflame
and drove them on the beach. Iowa, continuing the
battle in company with converted yacht Gloucester
sank the Spanish destroyer Pluton and so damaged
destroyer Furor that she ran upon the rocks. Iowa
then turned her attention to the Spanish cruiser Viscaya
which she pursued until Viscaya ran aground. Upon the
conclusion of the battle, Iowa received on board
Spanish Admiral Cervera and the officers and crews of the
Viscaya, Furor and Pluton.

On January 7, 1899, the 8th Massachusetts began its service
abroad, steaming for Cuba. It arrived three days later. In
