EAGLE - The Eagle is a three-masted sailing barque with 21,350 square feet of sail. The ship is home ported at the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. 

Eagle is the only active commissioned sailing vessel in the U.S. maritime services.  She travels the world serving as a training ship and good will ambassador.  She can be seen the summer of 2008 in tall ship events from Vancouver Canada to San Diego California.

 

The model is handcrafted from scratch by skilled craftsmen and it's built according to scale of the original ship, through original plans or pictures using plank on frame construction. The hull is joined by multi-pieces of dry thin wooden bar together. Inside the hull a special glue is used which helps thin wooden bars stay close to one another and not split, crack or twist when the weather changes. The ship is then painted.  The construction method is entirely by hand and it takes hundreds of man hours to finish by master artisans.

THE MODEL SHIP IS NOT A TOY, PLEASE KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
