Back in the late 1980s and the early 1990s I often drove along US Route 6 past Huron, Ohio while traveling between the Detroit Area and Lorain / Avon Lake, Ohio and at times see ships in the ore dock / grain elevator slip at Huron Ohio. I recall once seeing a Misener laker laid up for the winter at the grain elevator at Huron during this period, this being either the John A. France or J. N. McWatters if my memory serves me right. I would often make an effort to stop and see any vessels that would happen to be there at the time of my passing by. Now some 35 years later, I was wondering what type of shipping activity, if any, still takes place at Huron? The last time I went through there several years ago, it appeared that the grain elevator was gone.
