The USS ''Macedonian'' was a sailing ship in the fleet brought to [[Edo]] by [[Commodore Perry]] in [[1854]]. It was captained by Joel Abbot at that time. While Perry's flagship, the [[USS Susquehanna|''Susquehanna'']], as well as the ''[[USS Powhatan|Powhatan]]'' and ''[[USS Mississippi|Mississippi]]'' made anchor just outside Edo Bay on 1854/1/14 (Feb 11), the crew of the ''Macedonian'' made a mistake in the headings and accidentally grounded the ship on a sandbar or the like off the store of Nagai village in the [[Miura peninsula]] ([[Sagami province]]). They managed to free the ship the following day.
