Fight to keep Sault Ste. Marie channel open for grain freighters
Four tugs from Thompson Towing and Wrecking Co. battle ice and drift to keep the canal below Sault Ste. Marie open. About 45 downbound freighters remain in the upper lake with grain cargoes, hoping to reach ports before winter narrows the passage. After a severe storm and record twelve below zero, ice ten inches thick formed, but tugs cleared a path and released around 30 freighters. Downbound traffic dominates as storage vessels await their next cargo and may not return until reloaded.
