Macedonian Monument, Naval monument at United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, US

The wooden sculpture features Alexander the Great with ruffled neck attire and a plumed helmet mounted on a stone base with corner cannons.

The figurehead originates from HMS Macedonian, a British warship captured by Stephen Decatur during the War of 1812 naval engagement.

The monument represents naval warfare heritage through its incorporation of ship parts and traditional maritime sculptural elements typical of early 19th century vessels.

Located at the end of Stribling Walk across from Mahan Hall, the monument underwent a complete restoration in 2014 funded by the Academy class of 1973.

The stone base includes curved benches on each side and exhibits a bronze relief plaque by Edward Berge depicting the naval vessel capture.
