The Mammoth Ore Dock stretches along the Ashland waterfront as a long wooden trestle, with ore boats moored alongside and loading equipment ranged along the structure. A vessel sits at the right, waiting at the dock.
Ashland was a Lake Superior port for iron ore, and docks like this moved ore from railroad cars into lake freighters. The height of the trestle let ore drop into the holds of the ships below.
