USCGC EAGLE exiting Portland, ME

In 1969, I was just seventeen when I took my first two week cruise on the EAGLE.  It was at the very end of Swab Summer, and before classes began.  One of my classmates (Fred Adams) took these pictures a couple of weeks ago of the EAGLE sailing out of the beautiful harbor of Portland, Maine, a place I came to know well over years of CG patrols.  As I recall, on my first Special Sea Detail, I think I was seasick before we got to New London Ledge Lighthouse at the entrance to the harbor.
