Hoist sails! On July 9, @USCG cutter #BarqueEagle will race its active sister ships off #MA in the #FiveSistersCup. All 4 ships last competed in 1976 with #GorchFock winning. Who will take home the coveted Tiffany trophy during #Sail250? #USCG #Mircea #Sagres #America250

Taking part: @USCG #barqueEagle, the 295-ft "#AmericasTallShip," and USCGC Mohawk, a 270-ft Famous-class cutter. Their crews are hosting public tours and sailing alongside our international partners #sail250

There’s always something to see @CTFortTrumbull. This is the last weekend our Visitors’ Center and Fort will be open for tours. Due to the Federal Government Shutdown, the #BarqueEagle is not open for tours. But our grounds are looking great. Come see!
