Duluth

Duluth, Minnesota is the worlds furthest inland sea port. Vessels from around the world visit each year to load grain, the port ships mostly Taconite pellets to the steel mills down the lakes. Taconite contains iron ore and is brought to Duluth from the Masabe iron range by ore trains. While many goods are shipped in and out of the Duluth Harbor its main good is Taconite. There is a new challenger that could out do Taconite some day, Giant Wind Machines and I mean the big ones. Each blade leaves the port on it’s own oversized truck, So just the blades and turbine take a minimum of four trucks to get from the port of Duluth to its final destination.
