PE-19/PE-46 100k Eagle Boats PE-46 and PE-19 were among the few to remain on active durty as escort vessels for the Navy during the 1920s. The huge winches, which can be seen mounted on the forecastle decks, handle Eagles anchors. In the 1930s and during World War II, these winches were used to tow targets and provide salvage work.
