We had the pleasure of seeing the Eagle several times during the 2001 Baltimore Reunion, then touring the ship as it was docked a few thousand feet from our hotel..
If anyone has the Military Channel, you may have seen a very interesting and well done documentary on the Eagle, following the crew and the workings of the ship. We are in the process of making arrangements with the producer of the video to get DVD's of the documentary for sale on our website.

Adding on to Paul's memory of the Eagle docked a few thousand feet from our hotel.. ( I had asked for a room facing west and as high as possible so I could see Camden Yards and the festivities from Cal Ripkin Jr's last game) and this was an added bonus.
Let us know, Roland if you get the DVD to sell. We loved touring that ship and would most likely buy the DVD.

Will do Judy. We haven't dealt with the producer of this video before and we have to set up all of the particulars with him. He also has done some other videos and is getting us a list to see if we have any interest in them. Once all is set I'll let everyone know. Thanks for the interest.

On to New York for the Eagle. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get out to New Bedford last weekend to visit the Eagle while it was docked there. Another time perhaps...... Great photo of the USCG sendoff as it passed by Martha's Vineyard.

While stationed at Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, my last duty was the procurement and replacement documentation (SHIPALTS) of electronics equipment on many of the classes of Coast Guard Cutters and small boats. The Eagle was one of my ships that I was responsible for. During the early part of the 80's the Eagle came to the Coast Guard Yards in Baltimore to have a complete retrofit of electronics, painting and replacement of the "original" teak decking from when she was built. I was fortunate enough to get quite a bit of the removed decking from the Chief Boatswain Mate for my efforts. I had desk nameplates made for all of my shipboard electronics division people (13) with their name and ranks engraved on brass plates and also had wall plaques made up for each one with a brass plate in the middle("Original Teak Decking from the USCGC Eagle") and a silver coin from 1976 on each side of the brass plate (one side with a picture of the Eagle and the otherside showing "1976 Bicentenial"). I still have mine in my lighthouse room as a very nice reminder of my time in the Coast Guard and of the Eagle.
Rich, I'll just bet that everyone in your electronics division treasures the memories evoked by their plaques and nameplates you so thoughtfully had made for them! Well done!
The next time I pull my camera I will take some pictures of the desk name plates and the wall plaque.
Would love to see them! Such a great idea!
