What a Dump: 1943

What a Dump: 1943

May 1943. Pennsylvania R.R. iron ore docks, Cleveland. "After the ore is weighed in the Hulett unloader it is dropped in the waiting hopper cars below." 4x5 Kodachrome transparency by Jack Delano for the OWI. View full size.

Edmund Fitzgerald

Couldn't help but think of the song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald":

With a load of iron ore, 26,000 tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty...

...When they left fully loaded for Cleveland.

I used to live in Lorain and saw those big lake freighters sail up the Black River
