CG Aux member Hanna Hayes performing her first Vessel Exam. Auxiliary members must qualify to be a certified VSE by taking a course and passing an online test as well as performing 5 VE's as a trainee.
Vessel exams make boating safer and can save lives. CG Station Michigan City has had the highest number of VE's in the St Joseph Division for several years.
Our thanks to everyone for their dedication and teamwork!

Station Michigan City
Located at the mouth of Trail Creek and in operation since 1888, Coast Guard Station Michigan City is the sole Lake Michigan unit in Indiana. The Indiana lakeshore boasts sandy beaches and soaring sand dunes that have for generations drawn boaters and beachgoers to its shores. To the west of Michigan City, the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore covers more than 15,000 acres of the majestic sand mounds and is one of the more popular tourist attractions. West of the dunes is the International Port of Indiana at Burns Harbor, one of the largest and most modern commercial shipping ports on the Great Lakes. The Station Michigan City area of operations also extends northeast into Michigan waters and includes the charming harbor of New Buffalo.
