The tall ship Horst Wessel (USCGC Eagle) was a German sail training ship built in 1936 to train naval cadets, named after a german martyr who wrote the party's anthem; After the war, was disarmed by the British in 1945, and became a war prize, eventually being acquired by the U.S. in 1946 and repurposed as the USCGC Eagle (WIX-327), serving the U.S. Coast Guard as their premier training vessel for cadets to this day. #uscgceagle #horstwessel #uscg #tallship #trainingship #reel #reels #reelsinsta
