Although tomorrow's arrivals of the JOSEPH H. THOMPSON/THOMPSON JR. and JOHN J. BOLAND constitute a busy day for Erie given the present state of shipping, the two-vessel day would be considered slow by 1947's standards. From the April 22, 1947 Erie Dispatch-Herald:
Arrivals:
REISS BROTHERS, from Superior with ore. Cleared same day light for Superior.
WILLIAM A. REISS, from Superior with ore. Cleared same day light for Superior.
DAMIA, in ballast from Montreal. Cleared same day with coal for Montreal.
FRANK BILLINGS, in ballast from Chicago.
Departures, other than listed above:
J.C. WALLACE, light for Superior.
ARCTURUS, light for Superior.
A ride along Erie's waterfront today revealed a large empty space at the Old Ore Dock. This is likely where the THOMPSON will unload. The BOLAND will likely begin unloading at the Mounfort Terminal before shifting to the Old Ore Dock to finish. The THOMPSON is next due in Stoneport on Tuesday to load stone. Watch tomorrow for photos and video of the beginning of Erie's shipping season.
