At the end of WW II, which the USA won, they took home with them one of Hitler's private Tall masted ships. It was taken to Annapolis where the cadets learned real seamanship by taking it to ports up and down the Eastern seaboard. The name was "The Eagle" and one day it pulled into Port Canaveral Florida.

A dandy ship it was. This was taken in 2004

That's good to know. It was a great time going on board and talking to the cadets and seeing such great craftsmanship.
