The Great Lakes bulk freighter, Paul R Tregurtha arrived in Duluth today with chunks of ice floating through the canal. It was warmer when I saw the longest vessel (1,013.5 feet) of the Great Lakes arrive in October. The ship’s maiden voyage was in 1981 and she can carry 68,000 long tons of iron ore or 63,616 long tons of coal and she holds a number of cargo records. The Big Paul will be able to make a few more voyages before the winter lay-up when the icy weather closes the canals and locks.
