| The American Valor, formerly called the Armco, was built in 1953 by the American Shipbuilding Company in Lorain, Ohio. She was named for the Armco Steel Corporation, honoring the close business association between the two companies.
In June, 2006, the Armco was sold by Oglebay Norton in Cleveland to American Steamship in Buffalo. Her name was changed to American Valor.
She usually visits several Lake Superior ports, including Marquette, Michigan, Silver Bay, and Duluth/Superior. At the other end, her stops include Lorain, Toledo, and Ashtabula in Ohio. At Silver Bay and Duluth/Superior, she loads taconite pellets that she delivers to steel mills on the southern shore of Lake Erie. |
