U.S. Coast Guard Cutter EAGLE, New London Connecticut

description

Summary

(July 7, 2007)- The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter EAGLE, designated 'America's Tallship' is a three masted, square rigged sailing vessel. She is normally homeported in New London, Connecticut, and sails each summer for months at a time, visiting ports around the U.S. and abroad. EAGLE has a long history in service as a training vessel. After she was built and commissioned in 1936, she served as training vessel for cadets in the German Navy. In the 1940s, EAGLE began service as a training platform for Coast Guard Academy officer candidates. Today, nearly all future officers have the opportunity to sail onboard the EAGLE, learning skills such as leadership, teamwork, seamanship, and navigation. (Coast Guard photo by Ensign Ryan Beck)
