  The "Macedonian" was a British ship captured by Stephen Decatur during the War of 1812. militaryhistory.about.com/od/naval/p/sdecatur.htm

  NYT of March 15, 1891 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9807EFD81239E033A... describes the figurehead of the Macedonian, a bust of Minerva, as being at the Naval Academy in Annapolis.

• Art Siegel said:

  Apparently, a bust of Alexander the Great, not Minerva as reported in 1891:

  see also (and also at the Naval Academy) but possibly mislabeled as being from the Macedonian?

  Though perhaps BBC has it wrong, as the 1891 NYT article also describes the lion statue:
