Raining or not people flock to see the Paul R Tregurtha Duluth Arrival July 28, 2021
Показать описание
Rain or shine, the ships sail, and sometimes the fans come to see as well! Surprisingly large crowd with a little precipitation for the 20th Duluth arrival this season! The queen can draw the crowds!
They arrived Duluth 7/28/2021 12:05:00 PM with the sole purpose of loading coal at the SMET dock. Which they will do for the next 10.4 hours. I've said it before, that dock has this ship loading down to a science! Getting a thousand footer loaded with 68k tons of coal in such a short amount of time. So far this season they have spent a total of 297.6 hours. They have been averaging 13.01 hours at the dock loading.

MV Paul R. Tregurtha is a Great Lakes-based bulk carrier freighter. She is the current Queen of the Lakes, an unofficial but widely recognized title given to the longest vessel active on the Great Lakes.[1] Launched as William J. De Lancey, she was the last of the 13 "thousand footers" to enter service on the Great Lakes, and was also the last Great Lakes vessel built at the American Ship Building Company yard in Lorain, Ohio.
Construction
The Interlake Steamship Company was given a contract in 1979 by its customer Republic Steel, to transport iron ore from Lake Superior ports to their steel mill at Indiana Harbor, or to their transshipment terminal at Lorain.[1]
Designed by the American Ship Building Company to fulfil two briefs:
Bulk carrier
Executive passenger transportation
With the second brief in mind, she was one of the first freighters with full air conditioning, elevators, and luxurious décor. Built in two parts, her keel was laid down on July 12, 1979, at the American Ship Building Company yard in Toledo, Ohio. On completion, the forward section was towed to their yard in Lorain, Ohio where it was mated with the stern portion. The completed hull No. 909 has a total length of 1,013 feet (309 m).[1]
Stephens-Adamson designed a loop belt elevator system, that feeds a stern mounted 260-foot (79 m) discharge boom that can be swung 100 degrees to port or starboard. Capable of unloading at a rate of 10,000 long tons of iron ore per hour, or 6,000 net tons of coal per hour, the total system displaces 14,497 tons.[1]
Formally launched on February 4, 1981, the vessel was christened on April 25, 1981, as William J. De Lancey, named in honor of Republic Steel's chairman who participated in the launch.[1] In 1990 she received her current name. Paul R. Tregurtha, born 1935, was the Vice Chairman of Interlake Steamship Company's Board.
Operations
William J. De Lancey departed Lorain on her maiden voyage on May 10, 1981, sailing in ballast to Silver Bay, Minnesota, to load 55,944 tons of iron ore pellets. She arrived back in Lorain on May 16, 1981. She holds a number of cargo records:[1]
August 7, 1982: 63,007 ton (64,019 tonne) load at Escanaba, Michigan, for Indiana Harbor
July 20, 1983: broke the Lorain port record delivering 61,846 tons (61,846 mt) of iron ore pellets from Escanaba. She then established a lower lakes record by loading 50,239 net tons of coal from Ashtabula to Consumers Power, becoming the largest cargo loaded on the lower Great Lakes.
First 71 cargoes totaled 4,151,398 tons (4,218,086 mt), averaging 58,450 tons (59,389 mt) per load, restricted due to the lower draft in Lorain (less draft) and Escanaba to Indiana Harbor
Holds lower lakes record of 50,239 net tons of coal, shipped from Ashtabula, Ohio, to Consumers Power
2001 season: most cargo through the Soo Locks, 3,004,957 net tons
On termination of the Republic Steel contract, on May 23, 1990, she was rechristened MV Paul R. Tregurtha at Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, named in honor of the Vice Chairman of Interlake Steamship Co. On May 3, 2002, her only captain died in his cabin, Captain Mitch Hallin, aged 55.[1]
