Notably, the Coast Guard Academy is a regular stop for tour groups, which come to see the sights of a U.S. service academy where the nation's future leaders are trained and educated.

CGA History

Fore and Aft Syle Hat
Fore and Aft Style Hat
This fore and aft style hat, made in France, belonged to ADM Harry Gabriel Hamlet, Superintendent of the Academy from May 1928 to June 1932 and Coast Guard Commandant from 1932 to 1936. Fore and Aft style hats are still used in ceremonies such as the appointment of the "Ancient Mariner" (the cutterman who ensures sea-service traditions are upheld.)
