Coast Guard Cutter Eagle
The Coast Guard Cutter Eagle is making an appearance in St. Pete this weekend, and will be giving public tours. This training vessel was used by the nazis during World War 2, and was later given to the United States Coast Guard as post war reparations. The coast guard has used it for training and public relations ever since. The ship is 147.3 feet at its tallest mast, and 295 feet long. Despite the 22,000 square feet of sails, the Cutter Eagle still has a 1,000 horsepower diesel engine.
