Tregurtha Project
Lee A. Tregurhta and Paul R. Tregurtha, are large bulk carrier freighters and commonly known as “The King & Queen of the Lakes”.
MV Paul R.
Tregurtha is the current Queen of the Lakes (the largest ship operating on the Great Lakes complex).[1] She was the subject of a television program in the second series of Discovery Channel Canada‘s series Mighty Ships.
Launched as the 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.
She then established a lower lakes record by loading
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]
In winter 2004, she was asked to transport a reserve of coal to Algoma Steel in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, necessitating a mid-winter voyage.
Trustee Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association First lieutenant United States Air Force, 1958-1961. The completed hull #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 79.25 meters (260.0 ft) discharge boom that can be swung 100 degrees to port or starboard.
He grew up in Alpena and resides in suburban Detroit.
SHIP PROFILES
The M/V Paul R. Tregurtha
∫ The freighter was built by Lorain. He served on the public affairs staff of the Secretary of the Navy. In addition, an in-house electrical technician performs maintenance and checks on all electrical motors and circuits.
When the Soo Locks opened in late March, the Tregurtha joined the Great Lakes and “salties” (ocean vessels) transporting iron ore, coal, grain, cement, bulk liquid, salt, wind turbines, vehicles, machinery, and numerous other goods.
