| The Joseph L. Block is expected in the Twin Ports today to discharge a cargo of slag and then load taconite byproduct before leaving for Two Harbors to complete loading for a lower lakes port. The boat was built for Inland Steel in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin and is named for a former chairman of the board of Inland Steel. He was born in 1902 and was chairman from 1959 to 1967. This will be the Block’s 14th trip here this season. That is more trips it has made here already this season since it was here 16 times in 1999. |
