Eagle visits Los Angeles

2008-08-16T01:26:55Z

SAN PEDRO, Calif. – The Coast Guard Cutter Eagle is escorted into the Port of Los Angeles by a 25-foot response boat from Marine Safety and Security Team (MSST) 91103 and a 41-foot utility boat from Station Los Angeles-Long Beach Aug. 15, 2008. The cutter sailed into the Port as part of the Parade of Sail. The Eagle, one of the fleet's best known cutters, as an underway seamanship and leadership classroom for approximately 175 cadets and instructors from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., as well as for officer candidates from Officer Candidate School. Sailing on Eagle, cadets and officer candidates assist the permanent crew of 55 enlisted women and men, and six officers as they handle more than 20,000 square feet of sail and five miles of rigging. More than 200 lines must be coordinated during a major ship maneuver. The sails provide the equivalent of several thousand-shaft horsepower and can propel the Eagle at speeds of up to 17 knots.

Coast Guard Cutter Eagle lands in Port of Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES- The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Barque Eagle makes its way through Angle's Gate to L.A. Port Friday, August 1, 2008. L.A. was one of the Eagle's stops as a part of its 2008 West Coast trip.

The Eagle was a war prize from Nazi Germany and is the only active square-rigged sailing ship in the United States. It was originally commissioned the Horst Wessel in 1936 by Nazi Germany where it was one of three training ships used to train navy cadets. Taken as a war prize by the United States in 1946 and renamed, the Eagle now allows the Coast Guard's future officers to apply navigation, engineering, and leadership training they receive in classes at the Coast Guard Academy to real-life challenges on the sea.
