The Edgar B. Speer was built in two sections in 1980, one in Toledo and one in Lorain. She was launched on May 8, 1980. Her 20 hatches feed 5 holds where she can load 73,700 tons of cargo. Her unusual self-unloading system consists of a stern mounted 52-foot unloading boom that restricts her cargo to taconite pellets. The only two locations that can accept the Speer's unloading boom are located in Gary and Conneaut.
