Defense of the Cutter Eagle is one panel in a larger mural depicting the Revenue Marine and Coast Guard's battles displayed inside Hamilton Hall at the United States Coast Guard Academy.
It is one of two paintings commissioned by the Coast Guard of the battle, neither of which are considered accurate, the mural showing an unrealistic representation of the geography of Negro Head and the other work omitting the presence of the Connecticut soldiers.

In 2014, during bicentennial observances of the War of 1812, the Hallockville Museum Farm in Riverhead, New York, organized a reenactment of the battle.

As of 2019 USCGC Eagle (formerly the Kriegsmarine ship Horst Wessel), a Gorch Fock-class barque, perpetuates the name Eagle on the Coast Guard ship register.

Three of the ships involved in the battle, Eagle as well as Narcissus and Dispatch, are among the six legendary vessels celebrated in the second verse of the Coast Guard march "Semper Paratus":
Surveyor and Narcissus,

The Eagle and Dispatch,

The Hudson and the Tampa,

These names are hard to match;

From Barrow's shores to Paraguay,

Great Lakes or Ocean's wave,

The Coast Guard fights through storms and winds

To punish or to save.
