AMERICA’S TALL SHIP IS COMING TO CHARLESTON!

The United States Coast Guard Barque EAGLE is setting sail for Charleston, SC, and we want YOU to come aboard!

A Brief History of the EAGLE:
Known proudly as "America's Tall Ship," the 295-foot barque CGC EAGLE is the largest tall ship flying the Stars and Stripes and the only active square-rigger in U.S. government service. Originally built in Germany in 1936 and taken as a war reparation after World War II, she was commissioned into the U.S. Coast Guard in 1946. Today, she serves as a vital floating classroom for future Coast Guard officers, teaching cadets and officer candidates the timeless arts of seamanship, leadership, and teamwork.

Charleston has no shortage of incredible sunset spots…whether it’s a cruise on the water, a walk on the beach, or drinks at a rooftop bar. But one of my favorite places to end the day is Pitt St Bridge in Mount Pleasant. The views are beautiful, the atmosphere is peaceful, and every sunset feels a little different.
