On May 1, 1898, the USS Olympia, the flagship of Commodore George Dewey, steamed into Manila Bay in the Philippines to take on the Spanish. After a few hours of battle, Dewey accepted the surrender of the Spanish garrison. The USS Olympia is now a floating exhibit at the Independence Seaport Museum in Philadelphia and was featured on PCN’s It’s History! series.
It’s History! showcases museums and historic sites across Pennsylvania. The series has toured large private museums, county historical societies, historic houses and farms, and private collections that have been opened to the public.
