Here is the U.S. Coast Guard training Ship, EAGLE, The U.S.S. CONSTITUTION, an old Tug, and The BLUE ANGELS, doing a fly-by!

Was that the Customs House Building in the background of one of the pictures? Do the Coast Guard sailing ships also have a motor? The very first picture, the Coast Guard training ship with sails, do you know when it was built? I love these pictures, thanks for sharing them. Kelley (Texas) :)
 
was a WWII war prize. Originally built by the Nazi Party, and named the "Horst Wessel". Built 1936. Commissioned to the Coast Guard in 1946. She is propelled when necessary with a Caterpillar Diesel engine, although I do not know if she was originally built with propulsion or not.
The EAGLE and the CONSTITUTION are the only two Commissioned Tall Ships in the United States Military Service.
The Customs House is the building with the pointed tower, and Clock Face.
