| Lake Superior in Michigans Iron country 1800's
The sand of the
beach was as clean and smooth as if it had never been disturbed by the hand
of man. It was a long time before anyone had the hardihood to attempt
the building of another dock. The propellers would come to anchor some-
times as far as two miles from shore, and freight and passengers were landed
in small boats. Cattle and horses were pitched overboard and made to swim
ashore.
The boiler for the Marquette forge was plugged, heaved overboard three
miles out, and towed ashore.
