| David Schauer posted Tug Defiance and its unique consort Ashtabula loading sinter feed (ore fines) at CN-Hallett Dock 5 as the Joseph L. Block prepares to unload Minorca fluxstone at Dock 6 (Lakehead). Duluth, MN - September 16, 2023 |

| David Schauer posted The Hon. James L. Oberstar unloading limestone at CN-Hallett Dock 5 in Duluth this morning. This appears to be the finely ground stone used by UTAC in their Mustang (Indiana Harbor) pellets. The gray pile on the left looks like BFT (blast furnace trim). June 20, 2022 |
Dock #6
 |
| David Schauer posted This is a 1973 view of West Duluth with an unidentified laker at Hallett Dock 6 on the far left (note the Interlake Iron plant at the base of the slip) plus silver stackers in layup at the Berwind Dock (upper right). What really caught my eye was a salty at the Carnegie Dock. No idea what it was doing there. Also note the original alignment of Highway 2 by the C. Reiss Dock that led to the Arrowhead Bridge (many young memories crossing that bridge). Enjoy courtesy of Basgen Photography. Sammy Maida: The old Zenith Furnace itself looks like its still there. You can see the skipway still there. Matt Miner I think the salty is either the Hermine or Eglantine when they had the U I M billboards. One of the few salties that came to the Lakes with twin stacks. |

| David Schauer posted Our daily winter flashback shows pipe being unloaded at Hallett Dock 6 in West Duluth on June 9, 1972. The name of the saltie appears to be PAN. I'm not sure what the pipe was being used for as Lakehead had no major local projects in the early 1970s. This might have been around the time natural gas lines were being built to taconite plants (I can't tell if this pipe is for oil or gas). Basgen Photography |
David Schauer shared his post of four photos with the comment: "While up in Two Harbors today for an archive delivery, we came across these black and white prints from the early 1960s showing Dock 6 and the coal/limestone docks at Duluth. Note the silver stacker lakers in layup, possibly due to a downturn in demand or a strike. In one image you can see black smoke coming from Rices Point, possibly the scrap yard that was located there. MRHS Collection"
Richard Wicklund: Three future Kinsman's - Francis E. House - Kinsman Independent (1); Norman B. Ream - Kinsman Enterprise (1) behind the House; beside the Ream, possibly the George F. Baker - Henry Steinbrenner (3); beside the House, I made out J. Pierpont Morgan, that became the Heron Bay of Canada's Quebec & Ontario fleet. These pictures may have been taken in 1964, since in 1965 the Ream, Baker, and the J. Pierpont Morgan were sold, then in 1966, the House was sold.
Aaron Terres: The docks in the top left of the first photo, what are those?

Dock #8
 |
| David Schauer posted A plethora of commodities in this image. Dorothy Ann/Pathfinder unloading salt at Envirotech-Hallett Dock 8 where it appears the dock invested in a new asphalt pad for their salt shipments. Next to the salt is a pile of iron ore chips/fines shipped from Two Harbors by truck (destination unknown), then a pile of sugar stone for beet processing. In the distance is the coal/coke pile for Midwest Energy Resources Corporation with the Paul R. Tregurtha loading and finally the Victory/Maumee loading wheat for Buffalo at the General Mills (BNSF) elevator just beyond MERC. The overgrown dock immediately east of the Dorothy Ann is the pad that C. Reiss plans to relocate their West Duluth facility to sometime in the future. We lucked out with a brief break in the clouds. 10/10/2021 Scott Best: I don't know about other states but in WI, salt has to be stored on an asphalt pad per DNR regulations. David Schauer: Scott Best That makes sense then why the new pad. [The arch bridge in the background is the Blatnick Bridge.] |
