I've attached a PDF downloaded from the Lake Carriers Association for the movement of grain, and other loads, between all the Great Lakes & St. Lawrence ports.

A comment for you on your favorite ship, the Herbert C Jackson. I haven't been able to find any photos for this ship from the time of her launch in 1959 to conversion for fuel oil and discharge boom in the mid-70's. The HCJ would have looked very different from today. There are several really good videos for HCJ on YouTube.

Hi,
Thanks.
She's probably coming to Buffalo. Do you know where she's going for sure?

As far as American ports, I think it's Buffalo, Toledo, and somewhere on Lake Michigan. Lots of Canadian ports take grain, like Goderich, Owen Sound, and whatnot.
