SAN FRANCISCO (July 23, 2008) -- The Coast Guard Cutter Eagle sails near the Bay Bridge in preparation for the Festival of Sail on San Francisco Bay. The Eagle is a three-masted barque that carries square-rigged sails on the fore and main masts. The 295-foot long sailing vessel has served the Coast Guard since 1946 and is used as a training platform for cadets and officer candidates to learn leadership, teamwork, seamanship and navigation skills. After its stay in San Francisco through July 27, 2008, the Eaglewill visit five other West Coast ports, including San Diego, Los Angeles, Astoria, Tacoma, and Victoria, British Columbia.
