The JR is a Scientific ship. It drills for core to learn about how the climate has changed over millions of years. The drill bit drills to the bottom of the sea. There are 144 people working on the ship. There are 33 scientists on the ship. There are seven chefs for 4 meals. The derrick is 190 feet tall. The ship is 16 tons which equals 120,000 giraffes. There are seven engines on the ship and only 4 run at once. The ship is as long as 16 brontosauruses. The derek is as tall 12 giraffes. It was built in 1978 to drill for oil and reconstructed in 1984.

The JOIDES Resolution used to be a ship drilling for oil, but now it’s drilling for fossils to learn about the past. The JOIDES Resolution has lots and lots of people, they even have a chef! They have a part on the ship called the derrick. it helps the drill stay together. The J.R. has seven engines but the room that they are in is really hot! There are 104 people on the ship and 33 of them are scientist and there are 7 chefs. They are in the sea for 2 months until they dock their ship. They get water from a machine that makes sea water clean water. When the drill gets stuck, they throw dynamite in the water to clear it out of the way.
The JR is a drill ship. The ship is drilling into the earth’s core. There is a tall structure on the JR called a derrick, the derrick is 190 feet tall! Under the derrick is a hole. Its looks like a pool. It is called a moon pool. There are 7 engines! 4 engines are always at work three are stored just in case a engine thats working needs a rest. Anyway There are 7 floors! There is about 124 people on the ship. About 33 of them are scientist. So then there’s a lot of other jobs. It takes 24 hours to get gas! Also the ship never sleeps! By that I mean that there’s at least 2 people that have the same job. Each person has a shift. So if I was a drill person I would have a 12 hour shift then I would go to sleep and another drill person that slept through my shift would do their shift. The reason they are on the ship is that they are drilling to the ocean floor and under old layers to learn about the past. If the people on the ship have kids, they must miss them. The ship members have 4 meals.
The Joides Resolution, (J.R. for short) is drilling for cores where they will find fossils of plankton from millions of years ago.
There are 124 people aboard, but only thirty three are scientists. There are many different jobs. Cooks, scientists, captains and doctors are just some of them. The derrick, is one hundred ninety feet tall! That is twenty stories high! The J.R takes 24 hours to fill up on diesel! That is one day!!! The JR is drilling off the coast of Singapore. When you are on the JR you can eat whenever you are not working. The JR is trying to figure out about global warming. There is a night shift and a day shift. Each shift is twelve hours. There are 7 engines. Four are working and the other three are if the four are not working. It has a big drill bit
loud and hot engine room it has a lot of labs 190 foot tall derek, 20 stories high 7 engines 124 people on board and 33 are scientists the pentagon on the rope keeps rodents out of the ship they have food 24 hours a day 1.Derek is 66 meters.
2. There are 135 people. 3. The longest drill ship in the world. 4. There's 2 people for each job per shift. 5. There are 7 engines to make electricity. 6.There are 7 floors. 7. There´s 33 scientists. 8.There's 7 cooks. 9.They stay out in the ocean for 2 months. 10.They stay at shore for the summer so researchers can come to learn. 11.They put a pentagon on ropes so mice and other rodents can’t go in the ship. 12.They need 1,000,000 (1 million) gallons of fuel!!!!! 13.The purpose of the trip is to find what life was a loooong time ago. 14.It goes down 8 kilometers. 15.If the drill gets stuck they have to use dynamite. The JR is a drilling ship that drills for cores under the ocean that help scientist find out more about the earth.
The drill is held up by a tall structure called a derrick, It is 190 feet high that is 20 stories high. When the cores come up through the derick they slice them in half , they use half for experiment. The J.R. has 124 crew members and takes 24 hours to fuel up, that´s 1 day. The boat is 488 feet long. The JR´s purpose is to drill up fossils and find out what the world looked like long ago. The JR is the most popular drill ship in the world! The JR is as long as 11 long dinosaurs! The drill derrick is 190 feet tall! They also share bedrooms with bunk beds. There is also a room that is hotter than the hottest sunny day. There are 33 scientist on the ship! There are also 7 motors on the ship! Fun Fact: there are always 3 motors not working! This means that the ship only needs 4 motors to move. It also takes 24 hours to fill up with 1000 gallons of gasoline. The derrick is 20 stories tall! There is only 7 chefs and when 3 are sleeping, the others are working. There is also an exercise room where people exercise a lot.
We just skyped with the J.R.(Joides Resolution).We got good info from the Skype. We are going to tell you a lot about the J.R.
