USS Constitution(Old Ironsides)
The frigate HMS Macedonian was captured by the United States Navy during the War of 1812 on October 25, 1812. The engagement occurred off the coast of the Azores, where the American frigate USS United States, commanded by Commodore Stephen Decatur, defeated the British ship in a dramatic naval battle. The capture of HMS Macedonian was significant as it marked one of the early victories for the U.S. Navy in the war.
The ship, the USS Constitution, was nicknamed "Old Ironsides". It was given that name when, during battle against the British Frigate Guerriere, cannonballs seemed to be deflected off the sides of the USS Constitution. One of the crewmen on board the Constitution exclaimed: “Huzza, her sides are made of iron!â€
