The US Coast Guard Barque Eagle, a majestic four-masted sailing ship, will be opening its decks to the public for free tours during the upcoming Sail4th 250 celebration in New York City. The historic vessel, which has served as a training ship for the US Coast Guard since 1946, will be docked in Manhattan's Hudson River waterfront, providing a unique opportunity for locals and tourists alike to explore its impressive rigging, engine room, and other areas. The public tours, which are usually ticketed, will be offered in conjunction with the Sail4th 250 event, a maritime festival that aims to promote the rich history and heritage of the US Coast Guard. Visitors can expect to learn about the ship's storied past, as well as the daily lives of the cadets who call the Eagle home during their training.
