BALTIMORE — The Coast Guard Cutter Barque Eagle, “America’s Tall Ship,” is
scheduled to arrive in Baltimore on Wednesday, Oct. 3, and open to the
public on the following day throughout the weekend.

At 295-feet in length, the Eagle is the largest tall-ship flying the stars
and stripes and the only active square-rigger in U.S. government service.
It was constructed in 1936 in Hamburg, Germany, and originally commissioned
as the Horst Wessel by the German Navy. The United States took the Eagle as
a war reparation following World War II.

With more than 22,300 square feet of sail and six miles of rigging, the
Eagle has served as an afloat classroom to future Coast Guard officers
since 1946. A permanent crew of eight officers and 50 enlisted personnel
maintain the ship and train up to 150 cadets at a time in the skills of
navigation, damage control, engineering, and deck seamanship.

Media interested in welcoming the crew should please contact the Lt. David
Radin at David.S.Radin at uscg.mil.
