USCGC Eagle Tall Ship Military Vessel in Galveston

About The USCGC Eagle
The USCGC Eagle serves as a seagoing classroom for Coast Guard Academy cadets and instructors. Aboard the Eagle, a barque-rigged tall ship, cadets are able to apply navigation, ship-handling and engineering training they have previously learned in the classroom.
Tall Ship Training
In this modern age of computers and global positioning satellites, it may look old-fashioned, but lessons learned sailing aboard a large square-rigger are invaluable. On the decks and in the rigging of Eagle, young cadets are tested and challenged, often to the limits of endurance. Everyone depends on the others to know their job and do it.
The old saying, “We’re all in the same boat,” comes from a ship like this. Because Eagle is so labor-intensive, it’s a demanding trainer. It’s an intense, humbling experience that instills teamwork, builds confidence and conquers fear – all traits as welcome on board ship as in a corporate boardroom.
