Tall ship Eagle heads back to the open sea

When the Coast Guard’s tall ship Eagle glided under the Key Bridge on Wednesday morning, it looked a lot better than it did when it arrived at the Inner Harbor four months ago.

A fresh coat of white paint covered the upper hull. Six miles of ropes and rigging were tightrope-taut. And from the ship’s bow jutted a regilded eagle, its talons gripping the Coast Guard crest.

“She’s done and she’s looking good,” said John Downes, a Baltimore native who supervised the team of Curtis Bay Coast Guard Yard workers that carried out the $5 million refurbishing, from keel to mast tip.

Escorted by a Maryland Natural Resources Police boat and two tugs, the 295-foot ship turned down the Chesapeake Bay on its way to the Atlantic and its home port at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn.
