The American Spirit is the former George A. Stinson, originally built for the National Steel Corporation in 1978 and named in honor of the former Chairman of the Board of the National Steel Company. After National Steel went bankrupt early in 2003, the Stinson came to Duluth in May and stayed here until November 11th.
She worked the rest of the year on a charter to Great Lakes Fleet. Over the winter, her owner, American Steamship, renamed her American Spirit. As the Stinson, she almost exclusively loaded taconite at the Burlington Northern Dock in Superior.
As the American Spirit, she has branched out. In 2008, she loaded iron ore pellets at both the CN Dock in West Duluth and the BNSF Dock in Superior.
