US Coast Guard tall ship to hold open houses in Rockland

ROCKLAND, Maine — The 295-foot Coast Guard cutter Eagle is scheduled to make a port stop in Rockland at 3 p.m. Friday as part of its summer training voyage for cadets. It also will open its ship to the public over the weekend.

The ship will be open for public tours 1 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-7:30 p.m. Sunday. The vessel will be docked at the Coast Guard station at the end of Tillson Avenue.

The Coast Guard said in a news release that the Eagle is the largest tall ship in the United States and the only active square-rigged ship in U.S. government services.

The vessel was built in 1936 in Germany but was taken by the United States as reparations after World War II.

The Eagle has served as a classroom at sea for future Coast Guard officers since 1946, according to the Coast Guard. There are 135 cadets aboard the Eagle. There is a permanent crew of eight officers and 50 enlisted personnel who maintain the vessel.

The Eagle will be deployed this summer for 13 weeks with nine port calls spanning four countries.

At Pets for Vets, we believe our country owes military veterans a debt of gratitude. Our soldiers have been brave but many of them have returned with physical and emotional injuries that have made it difficult to transition back to civilian life. Some estimates state that as many as 20% of returning…
