| Keywords: outdoor LC-USZC4-6224: War of 1812, USS United States capturing Royal Navy frigate HBM Macedonian, October 25, 1812. Artwork by Charles Robert Patterson, between 1910-50. During this battle, the frigate United States, commanded by Stephen Decatur, captured the British frigate Macedonian, commanded by John S. Carden, west of the Canary Islands. During battle, United States broadsided the British frigate and destroyed her mizzen top mast, which let her driver gaff fall. This advantage allowed United States to riddle the enemy methodically with shot. After surrender, Macedonian was eventually repaired and entered into U.S. Naval service. (7/2/2015).
