Per Patrick Dorin's book "Great Lakes Ore Docks and Ore Cars" timber gravity dock #6 was built in 1903 with 80,000 ton storage capacity, 70 feet high, 1920 feet long and 320 pockets. Rebuilt in 1924 and used until 1969. The new (current) low level ship loader dock used the foundation of the #6 dock and was in operation by 1970.
