This jet ski is extremely powerful

This is a super nonfiction picture book with examples of many many types of boats both current active ones to historical ones, international in scope, and oh so many purposes. This could be used with transportation units, international trade, fishing, and military units. Various types of boats are the cars and trucks of water.
And there on page 17 in the double page spread on, “Hard at Work” was a drawing of the Sprague which was the largest steamboat Towboat ever built. It set a record of pushing 60 barges and rive barge weight is measured in kilotons!!! I toured the Sprague in Pittsburg after it was retired from service. It was huge, huge!!!
