Tag: USCG Tall Ship Eagle
USCG Tall Ship Eagle is a 295-foot barque serving as the U.S. Coast Guard’s premier sail training vessel. Originally built in 1936 as the German training ship Horst Wessel, she was acquired by the United States as a war reparation after World War II and commissioned into the Coast Guard in 1946. Today, the Eagle provides hands-on seamanship and leadership training for cadets and officer candidates, embodying maritime heritage and serving as a floating ambassador for the nation.
After spending just one day in Savannah, Georgia, I can honestly say this city spoke to my soul and begged me to come back and live here. Honestly, I think I could easily live here the rest of my life and be entirely happy, which says a lot because there are few places I admit I would like to stay forever.
