The Coast Guard tall ship USS Eagle heads into Portland harbor Friday morning. The three-masted ship, one of two, is in Portland Harbor this weekend on the 227th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Coast Guard. Known as “America’s Tall Ship,” the Coast Guard’s 295-foot barque USS Eagle docked at Portland’s Ocean Terminal. The Eagle will be joined Saturday morning by the 200-foot sail-training ship SSV Oliver Hazard Perry, which was moored off Fort Allen Park in Portland on Thursday night. Both ships will be open for free, public tours throughout the day Saturday and Sunday.
