While the large freighters may still be active on the other Great Lakes, the traffic is down to one ore carrier on Lake Superior since the Soo Locks closed earlier this week (although the closing was delayed by 10 hours until the last ship that was leaving Lake Superior was through the locks). The Saginaw is still making a few more load of iron ore pellets from the docks in Superior to the Sault Ste Marie area. This ship, the Algoma Guardian also came into Superior for ore but didn’t have to fight the ice in the harbor during July as compared to loading out in January. The Algoma Guardian is spending the winter at Goderich, ON until the Soo Locks reopens on March 25 after winter maintenance.
