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.
