Admiral David G. Farragut, Bronze monument in Farragut Square, Washington, United States
The bronze statue of Admiral David G. Farragut stands 10 feet tall on a granite pedestal, depicting him holding a telescope in his naval uniform.
The monument was dedicated in 1881 during a ceremony attended by President James A. Garfield, marking the first memorial to a naval hero in Washington.
Vinnie Ream created this statue, establishing a milestone as the first major public artwork by a female sculptor in Washington's history.
The monument occupies the center of Farragut Square along Connecticut Avenue between K and I Streets Northwest, near multiple public transportation options.
The statue was cast from the propeller of USS Hartford, Farragut's flagship during the Civil War, with four mortars from the same metal at the pedestal corners.
