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".

by wondering
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?

There were plenty of boats/ships/vessels to be seen today. When I took the picture of salties on the hook in lower Lake Huron, there were eight. By the end of the day, three more had joined the group.
