New London The Coast Guard barque Eagle has secured priority docking at City Pier that will allow it to call New London’s waterfront home for at least 20 years.
The City Council on Monday approved a license agreement with the Coast Guard that provides a berth for the Eagle adjacent to the future National Coast Guard Museum the $100 million facility to be built behind Union Station.
Mayor Michael Passero said having the Eagle, known as America’s Tall Ship, as a feature of the city’s waterfront was always part of the long-term vision for the city and museum. “That’s been our goal for many years and goes hand in hand with development of the Coast Guard museum. We expect that area of the waterfront to be transformed over the next couple of years,” he said.
