Duluth Docks
The Duluth docks of the Duluth, Missabe, & Iron Range Railroad. Dock #5 is on the right, and Dock #6 is on the left. I no longer recall what the ship was, though American Mariner or H. Lee White would be good guesses--as would a couple of their fleetmates.
Each dock is extends about a half mile into the harbor. Dock 5 is your classic, gravity-driven iron ore dock, while Dock 6 has been converted into a massive, modern, conveyor-driven shiploader. The shiploader permits the dock to service the 1000-foot ships which now dominate the trade. (I commented on this, from another perspective, a few days back.)
This photo was taken in 1990 from the viewing platform on the DMIR property. The camera was a throwaway panoramic point-n-shoot. (Since the date on this photo is certainly correct, my recent Soo & Marquette photos are dated incorrectly. I need to figure that out.)
