Here's an interesting video of the Herbert C. Jackson last August leaving port with a big load, so much coal they couldn't close the hatches.

Looks like the Jackson was shuttling coal across the St Louis harbor.

Oh, here is a good video promoting the great lakes and steel production.

Great Lakes Seaway Partnership

There is no one hero in the story of the Great Lakes. The economic prosperity of the region is due to the efficient and symbiotic connection of The Saint Lawrence Seaway, Great Lakes ports, foreign and domestic vessels, manufacturers, companies, the employees that work there, and their relationship to their local communities. This supply chain is a foundation of our country’s economy. The backbone of our society. It is America’s Anchor.

I great video made by the corps on how ice breaking operations go on the upper lakes. Really good photos in this video, many I'd not seen before. Yes its long at over an hour long. In it they made an interesting comment that 3% of the US's GNP passed thought the lakes and 50% of the stats and provinces that touch the lakes does. This is 90 million tons of products.

My sister retires from the IT department at the Tillotson Mine in Marquette. Took me on a tour when I was up there a while back. I have a bag of those pellets in my dresser drawer.
I forget if they are Taconite or something else.
