Coast Guard Cutter Eagle arrives in Seattle

SEATTLE - Crewmembers on board the Coast Guard Cutter Eagle stand on the bowsprit as it transited into Elliott Bay, Wash., today to make a one day stopover on its way to participate in the Tall Ships Tacoma 2008 event in Tacoma, Wash. The Eagle's crew has spent this summer training more than 130 Coast Guard Academy cadets and Naval Academy midshipmen. The Eagle has served as a floating classroom to future Coast Guard officers since 1946 offering fundamental leadership, teamwork and seamanship skills.
