Presque Isle has occasionally delivered limestone to Duluth ever since the late 1980s, either unloading at Hallett Dock 5 or into the limestone hopper on the west side of Missabe Dock (CN) 6. It's likely that at least a significant portion of these cargoes were coming from Calcite.
The Oglebay Norton (ex. Lewis Wilson Foy, now American Integrity) is often noted to have carried a limestone cargo in 1992. This would've possibly made her the deepest-hulled / tallest-hulled ship to ever load at whichever dock it was where she took on that cargo. The American Integrity has a hull depth listed at 56', American Spirit has a hull depth of 50', Presque Isle's is 46' 06".
