In 2002, The History Channel produced an episode of the 'Unsolved History' documentaries titled 'Death Of The U.S.S. Maine' that utilized pictures, naval experts, and archival information to determine the cause of the explosion. The conclusion was that a coal bunker fire caused the explosion, and a weakness or gap was identified in the bulkhead separating the coal and powder bunkers, which allowed the fire to spread from the coal bunker to the powder bunker.
