There was a Festival of Tail Ships last weeknd at our nearby port, the Port of Los Angeles. One of the most beautiful was the U.S. Coast Guard Barque Eagle. At 295 feet, the Eagle dwarfs the historic tall ships one-third its size. Its masts tower up to 150 feet, supporting 22,000 square feet of sail reaching across teak weather decks. It's the largest ship sailing under the U.S. flag. The eagle figurehead gleamed in the late afternoon sun.
