Biographical History
Sigsbee was a U.S. naval officer. He was commander of the USS Maine when it exploded in Havana harbor, sparking the Spanish-American War.
Naval officer, son of Nicholas and Agnes Sigsbee, born in Albany, N.Y. Appointed to U.S. Naval Academy in 1859, he was graduated in 1863, made ensign and served in the Civil War. His most notable peace-time achievement was his work while in command of the Coast Survey steamer Blake 1875-1878. With Prof. Alexander Agazziz, he was engaged in deep-sea explorations, mainly in the Gulf of Mexico. While on this duty he invented a deep-sea sounding apparatus along with related dredging devices, all of which revolutionized deep-sea sounding and dredging. He was in command of the battleship "Maine" until she was blown up and destroyed in Havana Harbor, February 15, 1898. During the Spanish-American War he was advanced three numbers in rank and cited for "extraordinary heroism". Commissioned rear-admiral August 11, 1903.

In November 1870 he married Eliza Rogers Lockwood, by whom he had one son and three daughters.
