"Chippewa County, Michigan, United States"

"Affectionately called the “Linchpin of the Great Lakes” by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, the Soo Locks are a remarkable feat of engineering and human ingenuity that connect Lakes Superior and Huron. The locks operate by raising and lowering boats between the levels of Lake Superior and the lower Great Lakes using a series of gates and chambers. Water and boats are moved solely by the force of gravity. The Soo Locks date back to the mid-1800s and are a popular tourist destination, attracting an estimated 500,000 visitors annually. Thanks to the Soo Locks, freighters over 1,000 feet in length can easily navigate the St. Marys River from Duluth, Minnesota all the way to the Atlantic Ocean and beyond, hauling nearly 86 million tons of cargo annually. The Soo Locks have played an essential role in the transportation of goods and resources between the Great Lakes and the rest of the world with an average of 7,000 vessels passing through the locks annually. In fact, 95% of the United States’ iron ore moves through the Soo Locks. Most ships utilize the Poe Lock, which was rebuilt in 1968 to accommodate larger and more modern ships. The MacArthur Lock, which is closest to Sault Ste. Marie, is also still in operation "
