The beauty of the Great Lakes in the winter is captured in the photo above, showing

The school is part of Northwestern Michigan College, a two year community college.
It is also a partner of Ferris State University. The school educates and trains students
for positions of leadership on Great Lakes, ocean-going ships and shore side
positions in the business world, with students gaining "hands-on" experience.

That good looking dark-hulled ship huddled away like an ice goddess in the photo

Ocean Surveillance Ship USNS Persistent, shown above in her original livery.

ship. She was deployed to collected acoustical data on submarines during the Cold
War.
Perhaps one of the reasons these small ships are liked by
the maritime academies is that they are cheaper to
maintain than a 20,000 ton training ship. With a length of
224 feet and a displacement slighter over 1,500 tons, they
are easier on a school budget. Their availability with the
easing of the Cold War also contributed to their popularity,
as well as their multi-diesel power plant, which is an ideal
platform for providing "hands-on" training to students.
