Answer
Brief Explanations:
The Maine sank in 1898. The first investigation had results that were not fully trusted by many. So, a new investigation was held in 1911. Eyewitness accounts were not the main reason for the 1911 investigation. The first investigators did reach a conclusion. And 1911 was over a decade after the ship sank.

many people did not trust the first investigation.
