Eagle Returns to Charleston

The Coast Guard Cutter Eagle, America’s iconic tall ship, is docked in Charleston for a three-day Sail250 celebration, offering cadets vital leadership lessons under its massive sails while inviting the public to tour its historic decks. Originally a German Navy vessel acquired as a war reparation, the Eagle has trained Coast Guard leaders for over 80 years—teaching teamwork, discipline, and character. Cadets like Haily Gravitt find it a homecoming, reconnecting with loved ones after grueling sea training. With no single person able to manage the ship, it’s a living classroom where leadership is forged. Free public tours run June 11–13, after which the Eagle sails for Norfolk.
