EAGLE Closeup

Let me share photos from three Eagle visits in the past decade.  Here she arrives off the east end of Wall Street.

2005, I believe.

Note the teams hauling on the docking line.

Charles D. McAllister tucks her in to the dock.

Here she lies at anchor in 2011 with

And here are details I focused on earlier this week.

To reiterate what I wrote yesterday,read Captain Gordon McGowan’s The Skipper and the Eagle.

All photos by Will Van Dorp.
