Polite Banter between the Paul R Tregurtha and the crowd on their Duluth Depare July 15, 2021

Always a crowd favorite, and I think they know it.. The PRT arrived Duluth 7/15/2021 2:09:00 AM, well before I was to wake... Headed up river to the SMET dock to load coal for the next 11.4 hours. Shown here departing 7/15/2021 5:14:00 PM after spending a total of 15.1 hours in Port. The unallocated time was when they arrived, they loaded fuel at husky.
This is their 17th visit to the Twin Ports this season. They have spent a total of 272.1 hours in Port so far. Which equates to 11.33 days....

A short note of info from www.cleveland19.com.
CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - She's been the reigning Queen of the Lakes since setting sail in 1981.

The M/V Paul R. Tregurtha is the longest freighter to sail on the Great Lakes. Owned and operated by the Interlake Steamship Company the Tregurtha backed into Cleveland Harbor earlier this week to unload iron ore.

While the ship has been to Cleveland before this was her maiden voyage bringing cargo to the city.

Built in Toledo and Lorain this was the first time the Tregurtha had visited Cleveland.

She and her crew of about 25 crisscross the Lakes from March to January making more than 40 trips in a season carrying raw materials for the power generation and steel making industries.

The M/V Paul R. Tregurtha is 1,013.5 feet long, spanning more than three football fields.

It would take 700 train cars or 2,800 trucks to carry what the Great lakes freighter M/V Paul R. Tregurtha can carry in a single trip.

Shipping on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway generates $35 billion annually, $3.8 billion in Ohio, as well as supports 33,000 jobs in Ohio.
