Herndon Monument : ウィキペディア英語版 | Herndon Monument
The Herndon Monument on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Academy is a 21-foot tall grey granite obelisk. It was erected in memory of Captain William Lewis Herndon, who courageously decided to go down with his ship, SS ''Central America'', and the men left aboard rather than save himself on September 12, 1857. All women and children and many of the men aboard were saved by a nearby ship during the storm. ==Description== The monument is a granite obelisk presented to the Academy by the class of 1860. It was designed by an unknown sculptor, and has the alternative long name of "Commander William L. Herndon, USN 1813-1857".
