An American flag affixed to the stern of the Coast Guard Cutter Eagle blows in the breeze as the Eagle transits up the Chesapeake Bay toward Baltimore’s Inner Harbor for the Star Spangled Spectacular event, Sept. 11, 2014. The Eagle will be one of several visiting ships participating in the multi-day event commemorating the bicentennial of the penning of the “Star-Spangled Banner” which was written off the banks of Fort McHenry.
