To maneuver Eagle under sail, the crew must handle more than 22,000 square feet of sail and six miles of rigging. Upper class cadets perform the leadership responsibilities normally handled by junior officers. Underclass cadets fill positions normally taken by the enlisted crew of the ship, including helm watch at the huge brass and wood wheels used to steer the vessel. It is a rigorous, character-building experience for all who train on Eagle.
We invite you to visit “America’s Tall Ship.” Walk her teak wood decks. Gaze at her vast sails and rigging. Explore her historic spaces and the galley. Step onto a national treasure. Step back in time. Dates, locations and covid precautions will be posted a few days before a port call and are subject to change.
