MV Paul R. Tregurtha

The MV Paul R. Tregurtha is a very big boat that is used to carry things like coal, iron, and other big things on water. It is called a "Great Lakes Carrier" because it typically sails in the Great Lakes region.

The boat is over 1,000 feet long, which is a lot longer than a football field! It has a special area in the back called a "cargo hold" where all of the big things are stored.

The boat has a special crew who work hard to make sure everything runs smoothly. The captain is like the boss of the boat and tells everyone what to do. The crew members help with things like steering the boat, loading and unloading, and making sure the boat stays safe.

The MV Paul R. Tregurtha is named after a man named Paul Tregurtha who was a very important person in the shipping industry. Even though the boat is very big and can carry a lot of things, it still needs to be taken care of and treated with respect so that it can continue to be used for many years to come.
