  • A Trip Down the Lakes in 1929
    A Trip Down the Lakes in 1929 On a warm, July afternoon in 1929, a crowd of well-dressed people mills about a dock of the Chicago, Duluth & Georgian Bay Transit Company on the bayfront near the heart of downtown Duluth. Many of the men are attired in white flannel trousers, crew-neck sweaters, blazers and deck shoes. The women wear print dresses and sensible block-heel shoes. Some have a sweater draped about their shoulders because of the cool breeze off the water. Most of the younger women are hatless, although several sport velvet headbands or a more rakish cloche. All are excitedly talking about their upcoming adventure, for looming above them is the silhouette of the South American, one of the two half-sisters of the Georgian Bay Line. The twin funnels belch smoke as the captain gets up steam in the scotch boilers for a 4 p.m. departure. 1 From the 1920s to the 1940s, the Twin Ports hosted thousands of passengers each summer as a preferred port of call for more than a dozen Great Lakes cruise liners. The Juniata and Octorara of the Anchor Line were frequent callers at the Head of the Lakes, as were the Huronic, Noronic and Hamonic of Canada’s Northern Navigation Company. But the most frequent caller was the South American, which for 40-plus years featured round-trip voyages between Duluth and Buffalo. 2 From her launching in 1914 until 1923, the South American had one funnel, as depicted in this pen-and-ink drawing by the late Arvid Morken of Superior.

  • Anthropogenic Copper Inventories and Mercury Profiles from Lake Superior: Evidence for Mining Impacts
    J. Great Lakes Res. 25(4):663–682 Internat. Assoc. Great Lakes Res., 1999 Anthropogenic Copper Inventories and Mercury Profiles from Lake Superior: Evidence for Mining Impacts W. Charles Kerfoot*,1, Sandra Harting1, Ronald Rossmann2, and John A. Robbins3 1Lake Superior Ecosystem Research Center and Department of Biological Sciences Michigan Technological University Houghton, Michigan 49931 2United States Environmental Protection Agency Mid-Continent Ecology Division, Large Lakes Research Station 9311 Groh Road Grosse Ile, Michigan 48138 3NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory 2205 Commonwealth Blvd Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105 ABSTRACT. During the past 150 years, the mining industry discharged more than a billion tons of tailings along Lake Superior shorelines and constructed numerous smelters in the watershed. Given the vast size of Lake Superior, were sediment profiles at locations far offshore impacted by nearshore activi- ties? Did copper and associated precious metal mining modify regional fluxes for copper and mercury? Samples from thirty sediment cores document that background concentrations of copper are high (mean 60.9 ± 7.0 µg/g), due to the proximity of natural ore sources. Anthropogenic inventories uncorrected for focusing also are high, ranging from 20 to 780 µg/cm2 (mean 187 ± 54 µg/cm2). Focusing factor correc- tions decrease the mean estimate and reduce variance (144 ± 24 µg/cm2). Several approaches to estimat- ing inputs suggest that only 6 to 10% of historic copper deposition originated directly from atmospheric sources, emphasizing terrestrial sources. Moreover, coastal sediment cores often show synchronous early increases in copper and mercury with buried maxima. Around the Keweenaw Peninsula, twenty-two cores trace high copper and mercury inventories back to mill and smelting sources.
