The State Street Bridge
It´s a bridge that raises so ships can sail underneath. Read that again.
This allows tall sailboats access to Lake Michigan.

This bridge is also known as the Bataan Corregidor Memorial Bridge in memory of the American and Filipino veterans who fought in the 1942 Fall of Bataan and Corregidor Island.

Meaning, this is a bridge historically dedicated to HEROES, maybe even "martyrs", in a broader sense of the word as it refers to those who died for a cause fighting the Nazi. The Fall of Bataan was one of the Battles the Allied troops lost.
Michael also lost his battle.
But that lost battle can be symbolically interpreted as: the bridge where he decided to permanently check out on is a bridge that raises so ships can sail, and the ship that sails under him is Sydcarmy because if he hadn´t decided to leave The Beef to Carmy, this wouldn´t have happened:
Or this:
None of what we consider now the Sydcarmy arc would have happened.
And the rest is history.
There are more references to ships on the show that point to Sydcarmy as the Ship to consider:
What hidden Sydcarmy meaning do you think Lloyd Wright´s words have, chefs?
And the most important one was hidden in plain sight since S2:
She was looking up at the bridge, her ship was sailing underneath.
HER SHIP IS THE ONE THAT SAILS, NOT THE OTHER ONE.
Am I making myself clear enough?
Also, the song playing as the soundtrack of this beautiful scene was:
Future Perfect
And the soundtrack of the scene where the Lloyd Wright´s poem appears is this one:
Let me live in your city WIP, which is also hinting a future where this happens. A perfect future.
So IMO that means that the Sydcarmy ship will sail, indirectly because of Michael dying on that bridge, in a perfect future.
There´s a reason why Syd was on board that ship, and not someone else.
