Since 1946, the U. S. Coast Guard  has used the Barque Eagle for training their cadets and officer candidates. 
Over the years she has represented the United States of America at birthday and anniversary  celebrations of states
and cities not only in the United States, but all over the world.  She has led many tall ship parades and has acted as
the U.S.A. ambassador on numerous other occasions.  Built in Germany in 1936 as the Horst Wessel, Eagle was
taken as war prize following World War II.  Since then she has had a long distinguished career as "America's Tall Ship."

"I love your book.  You've done us a great service, providing a snapshot and cohesive resource of a special
part of maritime and military history."  P. Schenk, Chester, CT
