USCG Barque ‘Eagle’ Has Landed on the Bay
The USCG barque Eagle has entered the Bay and reached her San Francisco port at Piers 15/17. She made a grand entrance into the Bay, sailing through the Gate and under the bridge in the company of local vessels including Call of the Sea’s brigantine Matthew Turner.
Latitude’s John Arndt spent the morning with the guests aboard the Matthew Turner. He sent us the photo below.
The 295-ft, three-masted barque will be open for free public tours from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 28. There is a 2 p.m. cutoff for entry, so get there early!
Eagle will depart the Bay on Sunday, June 29. Her remaining West Coast tour schedule is as follows:
San Francisco – Wednesday, 25 June
Victoria, BC, Canada – Monday, 7 July
Seattle, Washington – Tuesday, 15 July

She serves such an important function for the USCG, building teamwork, seamanship and cooperation between the cadets. We are also very grateful to Call of the Sea, which does such a fantastic job of this for our Bay Area Youth !
