The U.S. Coast Guard Barque Eagle approaches City Pier in New London, Conn., just after sunset Thursday, July 25, 2019. The Eagle has been across the Atlantic training Coast Guard Academy cadets all summer and is back in its home port of New London to exchange 3rd class cadets for swabs before it departs again to finish out the summer training schedule. The ship has been home-ported at the Coast Guard yard in Baltimore for the last five years undergoing extensive overhauls to extend the ship's life but will return to New London as its homeport this fall. A welcome home ceremony is scheduled for Friday afternoon at City Pier in New London. (Sean D. Elliot/The Day via AP)
