Macedonian (sometimes spelled Macendonian) was built in Great Britain in September 1810, captured off the Canary Islands by 44-gun frigate United States, Commodore Stephen Decatur in command, 25 October 1812, arrived in Newport, Rhode Island, as a prize 4 December 1812, and taken into service by April 1813, Captain Jacob Jones[?] in command.
Macedonian was assigned to the West Indies Squadron[?] to cruise in the West Indies and along the west coast of Africa from 1839 to 1847 as a continuing deterrent to Caribbean pirates.
HMS Macedonian was a 38-gun sailing frigate in the Royal Navy, later captured by the United States during the War of 1812.
Macedonian was built at Woolwich, England, in 1809, launched on 2 June 1810, and commissioned soon thereafter, Lord William FitzRoy in command.
USS Constitution had previously beaten HMS Guerriere, but it was too badly damaged to save; while Decatur's capture of a seaworthy warship was a sizeable and welcome addition to the then-tiny US Navy.
