In 1890 Eagre was part of a squadron of ships under the command of Lieutenant E.M. Hughes making the first systematic survey of the hazardous Nantucket Shoals along with the steamer as flagship, the schooner Scoresby and the steam tender Daisy. Eagre was eventually transferred from the Coast and Geodetic Service to the United States Navy on 31 July 1903, initially for use as tender to , the receiving ship at Naval Station Norfolk, and as training ship for apprentice seamen in the Chesapeake Bay area. These duties terminated in late 1906, and she remained at Norfolk until approved for use as a houseboat for enlisted men who were attached to the Norfolk Navy Yard. She was stricken on 10 September 1910 and sold.

Eagre scored "the winning points in all three games for Hawaii by blocking returns across the middle of the net". Eagye and her teammates had taken a victory lap around the court after defeating Pacific—they would repeat the circuit after the NCAA title match. She was named to the All Tournament Team. She won the Broderick Award, (now the Honda Sports Award) as the best female collegiate volleyball player in 1987–88.

The ship was built in Greenpoint, Brooklyn as the schooner Mohawk for the millionaire cotton merchant William T. Garner. At 140 feet (42.7 meters) she was the largest racing yacht of her generation. Garner, his wife, and all but 2 passengers and 1 crewman were lost when the yacht capsized in a squall during her maiden voyage in New York Harbor on 20 July 1876 off Stapleton, Staten Island. Mohawk was later raised at a cost of $25,000, and bought for the Coast Survey and renamed Eagre, taking its name from a term for a tidal bore, which is in turn derived from Ægir the Norse god of the sea.
