Spanish-American War Memorial

I will leave the details of the 1898 Spanish American War to history buffs, but the memorial on the University of Tampa campus is worth seeing either way.  Fort Dade was constructed on Egmont Key, near the entrance to Tampa Bay, at the start of the war because of a fear that the Spanish Fleet was coming to get us.  They did not.
