| The late seventies was a time when the Great Lakes shipping business saw the first of thirteen 1,000-foot lakers built and launched. Most of them come to the Twin Ports on a regular basis and all get here each shipping season. The late 70's also was a time for building smaller boats, such as the Sam Laud. The Laud is one of sev-eral smaller boats that take cargo up rivers and to ports that the larger boats cannot get to. She spends a lot of time on the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland shuttling taconite to steel mills up river. If you want to see the Great Lakes, get a job on the Sam Laud. Here are just a few of the many ports the boat visits: Cleveland, Stoneport, Conneaut, Alpena, Calcite, Zug Island, Lorain, Erie, Waukegan, Toledo , Muskegon, Holland, Sandusky, Green Bay, Bay City, Burns Harbor, South Chicago, Manistee, St. Joseph, Windsor, Milwaukee, Ashtabula, Marblehead, Ludington, Detroit, Saginaw and Benton Harbor.
