VISITING HOURS ON COAST GUARD CUTTER
The 1936 Coast Guard cutter Eagle will be docked on the north side of Pier 17 and taking visitors July 29 – 31. Hours are Saturday, July 29: 3pm–7pm; Sunday, July 30: 11am–7pm; Monday, July 31: 12pm–7pm. Built at the Blohm+Voss Shipyard in Hamburg in 1936, Eagle was one of three sail-training ships operated by the pre-World War II German navy. At the close of the war, the ship was taken as a war reparation by the U.S., re-commissioned as a U.S. Coast Guard Cutter.
