Great lakes and ocean cargo ships ride on lower St. Louis Bay, the harbor of Duluth-Superior, on a summer day in 1983. Grain terminals are prominent in the lower foreground on the Superior waterfront. Duluth's general cargo and grain terminals occupy Rices' point (center). The main entrance to the harbor (upper center) cuts through Minnesota Point, which protects the bay from the open water of Lake Superior. Duluth's redeveloped waterfront and downtown lie to the southwest (left) of the base of Minnesota Point. The central and eastern residential districts of Duluth climb the escarpment to the forested, rocky highlands of Minnesota's Arrowhead Country. Iron and coal docks are out of the picture to the west (left) and east (right). Photo, Basgan Photography and Seaway Port Authority of Duluth. |
