Found the attached Pilot card for USCGC Eagle. I am slightly astonished to see that I was her pilot a full 10 years ago.
I also recall that despite windless condition for her transatlantic passage the cadets managed to put a kink into one of the steel topsail yards by having some kind of (unintentional?) tug of war on the braces. This was repaired ashore during her stay in Leith, the port for Edinburgh.
I hope none of this is classified information.
