Superior, Wisconsin is home to one of the biggest inland shipping ports in
the United States. Shipping has been a part of our state’s tradition since
Native Americans and settlers first realized that using our waterways is a great
way to transport goods.
The main waterways that are used to ship goods
in and around Wisconsin are the Mississippi River, Lake Michigan and Lake Superior.
Did you know that the Duluth/Superior
Harbor:
• Sees 1,100 ships travel through here each year?
• Ships primarily iron ore (40%), coal (40%) and grain (10%) through
the port?
