Revision as of 23:39, 17 November 2012
Spirit of the American Navy was a First World War monument created by sculptor E. M. Viquesney in 1927. It was intended to be a companion piece to his very popular, Spirit of the American Doughboy, but never attained that stature.
A full sized Spirit of the American Navy resides inside of The Brass Anchor Ships Store on Hancock Street in Pentwater Michigan. The piece has been located in Pentwater since it was moved from the Chicago area in the late 70's. (Doubtful - It is unlikely that a small storefront business in Michigan somehow acquired a statue displayed as a public monument from Chicago, Illinois. Plus there is no record of any such statue once standing in Chicago.)
