NEW YORK - The Coast Guard's Barque Eagle, homeported in New London, Conn., finds safe refuge in Gravesend Bay, N.Y., during a winter storm that struck the East Coast Saturday, Feb. 6, 2010.

The Eagle was bound for Baltimore for a dry dock period when the command decided it was best to find refuge rather than become beset by heavy weather.
