The Constitution is a beautiful ship - especially in those rare occasions when she's under sail.
The Coast Guard Eagle is also quite beautiful especially because she isn't a museum piece - she is a commissioned ship and goes to sea frequently.
Trivia: The Eagle started life as the Nazi ship Horst Wessel in 1936 and certain of the equipment aboard still bears the swastika.
.......You stole it?
It was taken as a war prize at the end of WW2. It was commissioned into the US Coast Guard in 1946.
At seventy-one years of age it is one of the oldest
active commissioned ships in the world.
She seems to be in good hands atleast. Guess that's what matters most. If the russians got their hands on her I'd be more worried
