The University of Southern Mississippi has a new teaching tool to use, thanks to Jimmy Buffett and other members of the Buffett family.

The world famous singer-songwriter was on hand Monday morning at the Gulf Coast Research Lab in Ocean Springs to help dedicate the new boat. The Miss Peetsy B was originally built as a navy boat in 1973 by Uniflite.

The 33-foot vessel will be used to ferry school children through the marshes of South Mississippi and on excursions to Deer Island. USM officials said the boat will also be available to the public for programs like Sea Camp, ecological tours of the Biloxi Bay, and trips to Deer Island.

The boat was donated to the university by Buffett. The man who invented the Margaritaville brand attended USM years ago.
