In a powerful moment, the GRAMMA LEE T MORAN paid tribute to three-masted barque training cutter, the USCGC EAGLE, with a grand water salute in San Juan, PR! As one of only two active commissioned sailing vessels in the US military, the USCG EAGLE is one of the world’s most recognizable tall ships, alongside the USS Constitution. Thank you to Office Assistant, Ismael Nieves, for capturing the moment! #USCGCEagle #Morantowing #MaritimeHeritage #tugspotter #flagday

Eighty years ago, the courageous storming of Normandy’s beaches forever altered the course of history. Rear Admiral Edmond J. Moran, considered one of the greatest experts in tugboat operations in the world, was selected by the American and British navies to plan how and when to deliver two artificial harbors to Normandy to support the invasion troops. He organized the largest fleet of tugs ever assembled, and the massive structures, described as the eighth wonder of the world, were towed across the English Channel. For this heroic deed, Rear Admiral Moran received (among others) the U.S. Legion of Merit, the French Croix de Guerre, and the Order of the British Empire.
