The Great Lakes Maritime Academy TS State of Michigan is seen docked at the Bean Docks Tuesday, May 28, 2019 in Port Huron. The ship, formerly named Persistent, was used by the U.S. Navy for submarine surveillance before it was transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard in 1997, where it was used for drug enforcement in the Caribbean. In the summer of 2001, the ship went to the United States Maritime Administration under the U.S. Department of Transportation, which still owns it.
