Iron foundries shift toward Lake Erie coast and Pittsburg
The cheapest iron production centers lie along South Chicago and Lake Erie ports. Coal can be shipped short distances to meet ore at these docks, where Lake Superior ore lands at Lorain Cleveland Fairport Ashtabula Conneaut and Berea. Two tons of ore per ton of coke favors shipping coke to the south shore, yet industry circumscribes moving ore to coal districts. Carnegie considered Conneaut furnaces but chose to ship ore to Homestead and Pittsburg.
