Snagboat

A snagboat is a special type of boat that helps keep rivers and waterways clean and clear. Just like how we clean our room or pick up toys from the floor, snagboats clean up things in the river that may cause problems for other boats.

Snagboats are very strong and have a big metal hull that can push through debris in the water like tree branches, logs, and other types of trash that can get stuck and cause problems for boats traveling on the river. They also have a special tool called a snagging hook that can be lowered into the water to pull up big and heavy things like old car parts or sunken logs.

Sometimes, the debris in the river can be so big and troublesome that the snagboat needs to use explosives to break it into smaller pieces before it can be removed. All of this work helps to prevent accidents and make it safer for everyone who uses the river.

So, in short, a snagboat is like a superhero boat that helps keep our rivers and waterways clean and safe for everyone to enjoy!
