A ship I just recently learned about:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USCGC_Eagle_%28WIX-327%29The U.S. Coast Guard's cadet training ship, the
Eagle.
The tall ship was taken as part of war reparations from Nazi Germany by the US and has continued training USCG cadets ever since. It was formerly called the
Horst Wessel and was used to train German cadets. It was also built by the same builders as the
Bismarck...which was the next ship in line after the
Horst Wessel!
I recently got to tour it when it came into port in Newport, Rhode Island as part of it's training exercises. It is a beautiful ship and it is amazing that this ship built in 1936 still operates to this day!
