ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - Captain Kevin East has been living his childhood dream — taking charge of the ship Tom Sawyer on the Mississippi River. Thursday, he took a full cargo of teachers, industry experts, Argentine government officials and a First Alert 4 crew out onto the river.

He took the passengers on a tour of the Ag Coast of America , which is a center of transit and exports around grain and fertilizer. The St. Louis Regional Freigthway says the city’s ports were listed as some of the most “efficient inland port districts” in their review of recent numbers.

Along with the captain and industry folks, a number of educators from around St. Louis were on-board meeting with other teachers and learning more about the opportunities for recent graduates to find work.
