Eagle Boat #60 Lowered to Water, August 1919
Add to SetSummary
Ford Motor Company built Eagle anti-submarine boats during World War I. The company launched its first Eagle on July 11, 1918, but the war ended exactly four months later -- before any of the boats saw action. The Navy cut its initial order of 100 Eagles to 60, and Ford launched the last of them in the summer of 1919.
