On Sunday the Edwin Gott pulled in–but not before anchoring for a while out in the lake to take care of mechanical problems.
Don Wirt, assistant manager on the Two Harbors docks, said the Gott’s motor had been rebuilt over the winter, and after leaving Duluth, a problem with the head gasket was discovered.
The first boat in at Silver Bay was the Indiana Harbor–but it had to do its own ice breaking, according to Penny Rogers at Northshore Mining.
…Once in the harbor, it unloaded 60,000 tons of coal for the company’s generator plant, and then loaded up with 52,000 tons of pellets.
