The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter EAGLE is seen on a foggy Sunday morning at the Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore, Maryland, November 17, 2013.
The Eagle, a 295-foot barque homeported in New London, Connecticut on the Thames River at the U. S. Coast Guard Academy, is a training ship used primarily for Coast Guard cadets and officer candidates.
Built in Germany in 1936 and recommissioned by the United States at the close of World War II, the EAGLE is the largest tall ship and the only active commissioned steel hulled sailing vessel in the U.S. military.
