From the April 15th Examiner.
Nine ships are set to arrive in New Orleans April 17th to kick off the bicentennial observation of the War of 1812 in the United States. Three are US Navy, three from foreign navies and three are tall ships.
They will be docked at Woldenberg Riverfront Park and open for free tours from April 18th to 22nd.
They are:

One of the three Tall Ships is the Coast Guard's Eagle.
