    A RESILIENT Seaway ANNUAL CORPORATE SUMMARY 2019–2020 As high water levels and flows broke records during 2019, the Seaway adapted, allowing ships to continue delivering essential cargoes safely and reliably. The front cover photo (courtesy of Fednav) depicts activity at the Port of Johnstown during the 2019 navigation season. High water levels on Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River necessitated the International Joint Commission releasing record-breaking volumes of water via the Moses-Saunders dam in Cornwall, Ontario, to lessen the flooding of shoreline communities. Thanks to the efforts of Seaway employees, shipping companies, pilots, and a myriad of other stakeholders, commercial shipping activity was safely sustained through- out the season despite the high flows and currents.

Walzer The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2017 Under the Supervision of Professor Rachel Buff This dissertation examines the importance of white ethnicity, and especially Germanness, in the “civic branding” and urban restructuring efforts of city officials, civic boosters, and business leaders in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the mid-to-late twentieth century. Scholars have increasingly identified the significant roles the “revival” of European ethnic identities played in maintaining white racial privilege in response to the Civil Rights Movement since the 1960s.

Wisconsin Department of Transportation Bureau of Planning and Economic Development December 2010 Each year, about 40 million tons of goods worth over $8 billion pass through Wisconsin’s commercial ports, including essential products such as coal for power plants, iron ore and wood pulp for industry, and salt for the safety of our roads. Duluth–Superior Wisconsin’s Largest Ports Introduction Moving goods by water Marinette in Wisconsin is a tradition that began in the late 1650s when the Sturgeon Bay settlers arrived at Lake Superior’s Green Bay Chequamgon Bay. French explorers and fur traders quickly recognized the state La Crosse Manitowoc waterways’ vast potential. Today, water transportation continues to serve as the most efficient method for moving bulk commodities —and plays a vital role in the transport of heavy machinery, steel, bagged and canned cargo, Prairie Du Chien Milwaukee wind energy components and other goods. Wisconsin’s location, bordered on three sides by commercially navigable waterways, perfectly situates it to benefit from water transportation. Wisconsin’s ports serve as centers of ship building, commercial fishing, ferrying services and the efficient transport of bulk goods. Each year, Wisconsin ports handle over 40 million tons of cargo valued at over $8 billion.1 This includes agricultural commodities destined for international markets, coal for power plants, iron ore and wood pulp, cement and road salt.

The first car ferries were designed to bring wide gauge C3nadian rail cars (5'6") across river to Buffalo (the International, 1857) and the St. Lawrence River (the John Counter, 1853). The International, owned by the Buffalo and Lake Huron Railroad, was prOIIDted by Buffalo businessrren 1ci.th a vie<.v to sustaining the port's position as a major trans-shipment carrier to the East coast by tying the port to the rapidly expanding C3nadian railroads.
