Lt. j.g. Hanna Jansson, an officer-of-the-day aboard Coast Guard Cutter Steadfast, a 210-foot Medium Endurance Cutter homeported in Astoria, Ore., looks at the mini-boat Pacific Lotus, after the Steadfast crew was presented the boat by middle schoolers from Cedar Park Middle School in Beaverton, Ore., during a tour of the cutter, Feb. 7, 2018.
The mini-boat will be launched during the Steadfast crew's next patrol as part of an international science project involving multiple schools from Oregon and Japan, where students are learning about ocean currents and weather patterns.
