⚓ USCG Barque EAGLE Visits Newport! ⚓
What an incredible weekend in Newport! The U.S. Coast Guard’s flagship, the tall ship EAGLE (WIX-327), graced our waters, and our Coast Guard Auxiliary flotilla was proud to play an active role in the festivities.
Here are a few highlights from the weekend:
⛺ Dockside Engagement: Auxiliary members spent the weekend staffing the info tent on the pier, connecting with hundreds of visitors. We had great conversations about boating safety, shared the vital missions of both the Coast Guard and the Auxiliary, and even welcomed several folks interested in joining the Auxiliary!
🥂 Friday Night Reception: On Friday evening, July 31, our members were honored to attend a special reception onboard America’s Tall Ship, hosted by Captain Kristopher Ensley.
Thank you to everyone in the community who stopped by to say hello, ask questions, and celebrate the Coast Guard’s rich maritime tradition with us!
