Artificial port built in 1965 for the steel mills which has been a topic of heated debates for years around here since it takes up another portion of the lake access and the steel mills have such a large portion of the lake front now....something like 30 feet deep and over 8000 feet of steel and stone break walls....cool to see international cargo ships picking up or dropping off at the steel mills or the federal port authority....

it is truely amazing what people can do w/ some steel and a welder...

Love that sign on the back of that ship "Beware of propeller," that's too funny.... kinda like the warnings on hot coffee.... LOL

:lol: Scott! Some cool looking tugs! They look very different from the ones we have here. Much more stream lined.

Looks awesome and love the tugs

Was a very cool place, glad Jeff took us there to see it.

Great shots of it Jeff. looks like a good place to visit when in that area. i like the tug boats also lol they look like the ones i see running up and down the ohio river during the day and night.

Thanks everyone and the best part is you can fish for small mouth bass right off the dock.

Once the small mouth figured out how to eat the goby that were taking over the lake they started making a comeback...nice to see an invasive species going to good use.
