NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams did a piece on the low water levels of the Great Lakes called
Deep Impact on Tuesday, June 18, 2013.
They interviewed Mark Barker of Interlake Steamship Company and had some footage of the Mesabi Miner.
The piece also mentioned the St. Marys River and how the water levels in the river control the amount of cargo a greighter can carry.
Interesting and worth listening to.
This photo shows the low water level of the St. Marys River. The green grass was river bottom a few years back. Now we mow it to keep it from filling in with scrub vegetation.
