The United States Coast Guard Barque Eagle will be in Charleston from June 11-13.
The Eagle is known proudly as “America’s Tall Ship.” The 295-foot barque CGB Eagle is the largest tall ship flying the Stars and Stripes and the only active square-rigger in U.S. government service. Originally built in Germany in 1936 and taken as a war reparation after World War II, she was commissioned into the U.S. Coast Guard in 1946. Today, she serves as a vital floating classroom for future Coast Guard officers, teaching cadets and officer candidates the timeless arts of seamanship, leadership, and teamwork.
Her expected arrival time is around 11:00 am on June 11 at the Charleston Downtown Cruise Terminal, 196 Concord Street, Charleston.
Tours are free and open to the public, no reservation required. They will be available at the following times:
June 11: 3:00 – 7:00 pm
June 12: 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
June 13: 10:00 am – 7:00 pm
