U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Eagle on BBC news

A Chicago PBS station just broadcast a BBC news video interview with a former German sailor who served on the Horst Wessel, now U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Eagle.
Unfortunately, a video link is not included with the BBC web page, but the text of the interview has been posted.
Always nice hearing about an experience aboard a sailing ship.
