Sorry to hear about Mr.Winchester mate.

said:
Just received word that CWO Dave Winchester passed away 24 Dec 07. His obituary is in the
Westerly (RI) Sun. Those of us who served with him will be hard pressed to forget his easy-going
manner and sense of humor, which certainly made things a bit more tolerable after a month or two
into a summer cruise.

As an ignorant goofy dutch kid, that didn't know my brown-eye from a hole in the ground,
I'm suprised I made it through my tour on the Eagle. A good buddy, ship-mate at boot camp, and
really great guy, Richard Coe (aka Coe Bear), did not. May God Bless his Soul... Any of you other
'mates' out there from the OPSail 80 cruise know what I mean.
I thank God every day that I was sucker punched in Charleston and had to stay there. FUBAR!
To this ex-square-rigger, every day is a blessing.
Drop me a line if you want to re-live the good and bad times.

ISLAND. SMITTY AND I HITCHED A RIDE BACK TO NEW LONDON TO PICK UP HIS TRUCK. I CAN STILL REMEMBER
CDR. WELLING'S DEEP VOICE CALLING ORDERS.I'LL NEVER FORGET THE SOUND WHEN THE SAILS WERE FULL OF AIR
AND THEY SHUT DOWN OLD BERTHA.

Was BM2 on the Eagle 75-78 with Monty, Skip, Ski, Smity, etc. Have been living and working
in Costa Rica the last 3 years at Banana Bay Marina. Larry Devine has a rancho accross the bay from
the marina as he has had for the last 16 years. Just heard from Smity asking about the Noreaster we
went thru on our way back to the yards when we almost ended up on the Jersey coast. Skip is running
tugs, Rossi is a nurse, Monty is I believe in Vermont still chasing demons from the Op Sail trail,
Flannigan died from too much rum, met a guy down here on a sportboat that dated Capt. Welling's
daughter. Drop a line if you were aboard, got some great shots doing 18kts coming back from Europe
burying the bow. In Henderson's words, there is nothing quite as frightening as a man in the depths
of an either binge!

Went aboard in Curtis Bay in the winter of 66/67,right after she had met up with the
Japanese freghter. The bowsprit and part of her bow were missing and the hole was covered with a
canvas tarp. It was cold as hell. The gilded eagle figure head was I believe, on loan to Mystic
Seaport , so it was not lost in the collision. CWO Landes was OIC and was releved by CWO Baker.
Hardest,dirtiest job I've ever had,and loved every minuet of it.

Hey Squareriggers! I was on the crew for the '94 cruise to Europe. I was the ET2, but
better known as the 'Shower Guy' from a video teaching cadets to NOT waste water. I made that thing
because I was sick of being on water restrictions for that cruise. Mike, why are you so ANGRY?

On10/30/04 Zane Mevey
said:
Best Eagle memory: 78- I was working on the Fantail on something and the Captain- CDR
Welling was joking with our Engineering Officer. 'Did you tell Mevey he's going to have to take the
pin rail test before he goes on Liberty?' (Only the cadets had that requirement and certainly not a
snipe).[Although I was a snipe, Jay Henderson had already helped me study for and take my pinrail
test. I missed 2.] ' I said' Sir, I already took the pinrail test '. He was obviously surprised and
said' What? You took the pin rail test?' I said 'Yes and I only missed 2.' My engineering officer
just smiled, that made it all worth it and knowing that I had a new found respect from both.
On10/30/04 Zane Mevey
said:
Eagle -Europe 77 Favorite memories, first time changing the sail lites atop the 150'mast
while underway in the North Atlantic. Talk about an amusement ride. It was fantastic. Abit of the
white knuckles being the first time I'd climbed in moderately rough sea. After the first few climbs
it became second nature. Another memory. 200 miles off the coast of Spain. Engine broke. Every
sail set, all sails just hanging. Ocean was like glass, smoother than a pond. 378' escorts had gone
ahead, all alone. Dead in the water. Gave me a real respect for the early sailors like Columbus.
What to do? Swim call ! Howver I was more concerned about our guys in the small boat with M-16's on
Shark Patrol that I ever was about a shark.
On10/30/04 Zane Mevey
said:
Stationed at USCGA New London 77-79. Summers on Eagle: Europe 77. OPSail - 78 Vancouver
,BC via Panama Canal. Favorite memories: 78-Hurricance off the coast of Mexico. No sails set,
motoring only. Ropes strung across engine room to keep people from flying across the slick deck
plates. Jay Henderson turning the throttle wheel on Elmer trying to keep forward motion for
steering. Had to back off on throttle when the stern and prop came out of the water (so the
overspeed tip would not take the engine off the line) and then throttle back up when the stern and
prop went back in the water. 8 hours of 'Full Speed Ahead' and the Quartermasters log read 12
miles. BACKWARDS !!!!! on the same trip hit another hurican e off Jamaica. This time we got
to set four sails. I got to help hold the wheel and it was like standing under a warm water fall. I
could barely see the person on the wheel in front of me in the heavy rain. The deck on the starboard
side kept dipping into the waves.The lookout was looking for reefs. GREAT RIDE

served on Eagle during my last year of active service in 76 as a BM2, Have tremendous
memories of playing Master & Commander with some great sailors who happened to be great guys as
well. I became a freelance photographer as a direct result of being on the Eagle during OPSail 76
and meeting lots of professional photogs. Would love Eagle reunion - even w/ the stripe on it!

said:
Anyone around who made the cruise on the Eagle in 1949 and remembers the 'Ship Shake Down'
after visiting several ports? This occured when someone pried open the hatch on the Officers
Private Stock and swiped several cases of canned Lobster Meat. I was the Storekeeper. When they
search our lockers by a suprise announcement I knew I was in trouble. Mine was filled with canned
goods mostly peaches and pears. When asked where my clothes were I told them in the Office File
Cabinet. Nothing further was said but I was worried until I left the ship in New London. On our
first day back many of us single men were given the duty. The Supply Officer asked me to watch the
Gangway and see if anyone left with the lobster meat. Officer and men were bringing their autos
down to the City Dock where we tied up. They were taking their souvenirs and booze off which had
been locked in a hatch. One Officer made several trips down to the hatch and up to the gangway with
wicker baskets. Between each trip I went over and opened the lids and found it to be filled with
butter, hams, etc. He then took them out to the dock and put them in his car. The next day the
Supply Officer asked me if I had found the Lobster Meat. I told him NO, but informed him about the
Wicker Baskets. He quickly told me to keep my mouth shut and forget I ever saw them. I did. Who
ever pried that hatch open sure did a good job on it. I know it must have been very difficult. I
have always thought it went into the Black Market in Europe where they were buying everthing we
could bring them. Anybody out there who wants to confess. I am sure the Statue of Limitations has
expired but I would just like to know how they did it.

Spent part of the summer 1982 on there - loved it. Used to get a kick out of answering
the SPP with 'Main Prop' and listen to the bridge 'give us hell'! Spent time with MKC Artie Menge,
MK1 Jim 'Bing Juice' Urban, and a lot of other. I replaced Gary VanMourik as Aux, and was good
while it lasted - busted up my right knee on the ER ladder - had a couple of surgeries - still not
the same. Going up on deck after mid watch and seeing moonlight reflected in the sheets and water
was AWESOME! Sorry I was never able to get back to her.

Came aboard in '72' as HM1. Completely guted and rebuilt sickbay. Made the infamous cruise
along the coast to the Gulf. and getting caught in the nets under the GSM bridge and demasting the
old girl. Sailing on her was a thrill. I'll always remember sleeping in a hammock topside in the
balmy night air and watching the moon dart between the sails. Great pictures, great crew. It was her
last year before she sported the 'racing strip'.

I served on the Cutter Eagle in 1964 and 1965. My best recollection was when We stopped
along the Coast of Baja Mexico 1n July 1965 and took on board Walt Disney. Seeing this old man
with a cane board the ship, was not what I expected. He always looked young in all the TV segments
I had ever watched. This was something he had always wanted to do, to sail on a square rigger.
When we arrieved in San Diego two days later, Disney gave the crew all free passes to all the
amusement centers and rides. I spoke with him only briefly, and realized that he was in ill
health. He passed away the following year. Having his wish come true, I guess it made it
easier.

CG license to Master,Oceans 1,600 tons with sail endorsement next week. Just sent a letter to Mr.
Shannon yesterday. He has just taken command of Sea Cloud II which is a new tall ship just off the
ways. Chief Crissy is living in Key West on a boat.He drives one of the pink taxis you see all
around town. Tom Doherty is living on Fishers Island where he has been since he got out.He runs the
utility company on the island. Nat Wilson became a world class sailmaker in E. Boothbay,Maine. In
fact he made the latest sails for the Constitution. Skip Mildrum has been a Captain for Turecamo
operating tugs around NYC and the Northeast. A friend of mine ran into Scott Beard in Florida.He was
a harbormaster. Mike Rossi is an RN who I have always stayed in touch with (we sailed a 41' ketch
this past summer) and we worked fishing vessels together after we got out. As for me, I have been
Captain of several New England fishing vessels. I presently serve as a Captain for Alaska Frontier
Company working a 135' longliner in the Bering Sea. I am planning to go back to the tall ship world
as a deck officer in 2001. I am proud to have served with what must have been one of Eagles' best

Served in Eagle as a boot RM3 straight out of school 1987-88 and made the great
Australia/Europe voyage(s). Underway for almost an entire year with only 3 weeks inport at New
London between the two. A surreal (and tough) experience but nothing near as what the BM's and
deckies had to deal with. I saw BMC Wilkinson's msg saying that Mike Nidek has made BMC. If ever
anybody was born to the job of being a true square rig sailor it would have to be Mike Nidek. Mike
knows that ship like his own hand and has since he was a SN. All future Eagle sailors can sleep well
at night if Big Mike is on deck. Hey Mike... have you hauled any sail lights up the masts by
yourself lately?
On 08/17/99 Bill Wilkinson
