One of the most recognizable and majestic vessels on the high seas today and the only active square rigger in the U.S. fleet, "Eagle" draws huge crowds in any port that she calls. Each year, over 100,000 guests tour "Eagle" s decks; countless others follow her journeys throughout the world on her website and facebook page. As America s emissary to the tall ship fleet and a goodwill ambassador to nations around the world, "Eagle" makes training and representation voyages each summer to destinations such as Europe, the Caribbean, and both coasts of the North America.
Eagle "Seamanship: A Manual for Square Rigger Sailing," fourth edition, is the first revision to this venerable text in over 20 years, bringing together many advances in technology and procedures that have allowed America s Tall Ship to continue to serve as she approaches her 75th birthday. This edition of Eagle "Seamanship: A Manual for Square Rigger Sailing" continues to be the reference of choice for "Eagle" crewmembers, Coast Guard Academy cadets and officer candidates, and tall ship sailors throughout the world."
