The photo shows the US Eagle, a prominent tall ship, formely the property of Nazi Germany. The vessel was then known as the Horst Wessel. Since 1945, it is the US Coast Guard Cadet-Training ship. The ship was visiting St. John's, Mid-May 2005, on its way to Europe. The picture was taken on a cold and foggy evening.
