    Located at the U.S. Naval Academy, the Herndon Monument is a 21-foot-tall grey granite obelisk. It stands in honor of Captain William Lewis Herndon, who lost his life evacuating passengers during the SS Central America sinking on September 12, 1857. A nearby ship rescued women, children, and many men during the storm, preserving their lives.
