Great link, thanks for sharing. One of the neat pictures that I found was of the Ryerson being unloaded of steel coils.
Description: Photo of the cargo ship Edward L. Ryerson (blt 1960) unloading steel coils at Jones Island in the outer harbor. This was the first of three shipments to Milwaukee from Inland Steel because of poor weather for the rails.
Transcript: 7,200 tons of steel being unloaded from Inland Steel Company's Edward L. Ryerson, in the first of three shipments through the Port of Milwaukee, February 1979. Steel users in the Milwaukee area were unable to move their materials via rail, as usual, because rail was hampered by severe weather conditions.
