that number for American vessels might be a little high.

also, the salarium had coal from Chicago.

cpfan posted an excellent answer to your question. Go to the Information Search Page, under "South End Lake Huron".

I noticed that a lot of ships are idle, do they not travel at night or is the ice that problematic? Are they waiting for a escort?
