This is a translation of a 1937 original cruise logbook written by a
German Navy sailor on the then-named “Horst Wessel”.
It was presented to
Eric J. Shaw
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard
Commanding Officer
USCG Barque “Eagle”
by
Horst and Margit Boettge
on board of USCG Barque “Eagle” on 18 June 2004 in Charleston, SC.
We also presented an original photo album from a different cruise of the
“Horst Wessel” to Captain Shaw.
