Coast Guard Tall Ship Eagle at Pier 7

From PortSide New York comes the news that U.S. Coast Guard barque the Eagle -- a vessel too tall to fit under the Brooklyn Bridge -- is docked in Brooklyn and open to the public for the first time ever this weekend.

The visit is part of the Eagle's 75th birthday celebration. She hasn't been in New York City in five years.

You can board the Eagle tomorrow, Sunday, August 7, from 10 AM to 7 PM, at Pier 7, Port Authority Brooklyn Marine Terminal, at the foot of Atlantic Avenue. Enter next to Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 6.
