These images, \ncontemporary and historic, will take you to all of the primary loading \nand unloading ports from Lake Superior to Lake Erie.

See where these giant ships and cargoes go “down below” on the \ninfamous Cuyahoga River, the Ford Plant on Detroit’s Rouge River, or \ninside the heart of the famous U.S. Steel Works in Gary, Indiana.","brand":"Ertel Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31911956643911,"sku":"B05318","price":28.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/9781583882382.jpg?v=1772276044","url":"https:\/\/www.midlifeclassiccars.com\/ar\/products\/great-lakes-shipping-ports-cargoes-photo-gallery","provider":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
