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, selling only seven copies (possibly eight, if the statue mentioned below, reported to be at Pentwater, Michigan, can be confirmed).

A full sized "Spirit of the American Navy" resides inside The Brass Anchor Ship's 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 1970s (a photo and source citation is requested; no photo or other independent reference to the supposed Pentwater statue, other than what appears here on Wikipedia, can be found on the Internet, nor is there any record of any such statue formerly existing in the Chicago area).
