Another American Fits Out

Another vessel, a frequent Erie visitor, fit out for the season on Sunday afternoon. The AMERICAN COURAGE departed her winter berth on the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland on Sunday afternoon and headed downriver to Whiskey Island's Cleveland Bulk Terminal dock. There it will load iron ore pellets for the Mittal Steel mill at the head of the river. The vessel will run this short iron ore shuttle until the locks at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan open for the season on March 25.
