Loading iron ore pellets on Lake Superior Marquette, MI
I love processes like these that rely on major structures and engineering. The process for loading refined ore pellets hasn't changed significantly in over 100 years. This pocket ore dock is one of several scattered around the Great Lakes. Not all of them are still in use. The Ashland, WI high school teams are called the "Oredockers" in reference to the workers running the ore docks at one time in that area. Of course, Duluth comes to mind when one thinks of iron ore and and the Great Lakes, but the mines in Michigan produce over 20% of the iron ore used in Canada and the US.
This Lake Superior and Ishpeming Railroad dock has been in service since 1911 and has loaded over 500 million tons of ore over the years. I wanted to watch the process, and finally caught a boat being loaded on a beautiful late summer Saturday morning in Marquette.
