COVER: U.S. Coast Guard bark Eagle, flagship of Operation Sail 1976, wallops into a rising sea, close-hauled under all plain sail. Built in Hamburg, Germany, forty years ago, she will be joined by German, Portuguese, Rumanian and Russian sisters built to her design as the tall ships of the world's sail training fleets gather here this summer-over 200 ships in allto honor the two hundredth anniversary of a republic born of the sea.
