The Great Lakes, the world's
greatest inland waterway,
provides 1,200 miles.---•
extremely cheap and safe ' bulk
transport. Centrally located in
the greatest industrial complex
of the world, the Great Lakes
transportation system supplies
industry with raw materials and
ships -its finished products.
Lacking many local 'aw
materials, the heartland depends
'•• heavily on , the --„.Lakes
transportation system. Iron ore,
Coal and limestone brought in
from areas around the lakes,
supply the heartland's steel
•
industry which is 36% of the'
world's steel: Besides ' these
catgiies, - 'there is -grain, ..salt;
petroleum, pulp, newsprint,
cement and a great variety of
finished and semi=finished goods
comprising the major Great
Lakes traffic. Many natural,
ports dot the shorelines, of the
lakes and surrounding these the
many industries' have ,sprung up.
From . these•ports, a very
complete rail and. highway
system links other centres.
The unique type of cargo,
weather, harbour facilities etc.
found in the lakes, has led to
the develop -Merit' of an- equally
unique 'vessel. The "Laker” fills
most of the present needs in'
the 'Great Lakes Transportation
system. Some of these- "lakers"
'reach 1,000 feet in length,
although most are 730 -feet in
length. These 730 ft; vessels can
cart' -,1,000.,000 bushels `of `grain
or 25,000 tohs'of iron ore,,
Besides Ring an important
gap in North America's
transportation system the Great
Lakes provide Canadians with a
supply of fresh water fish and 4 •
Canada with a product ,for
export. Commercial fishing in
the Great Lakes although
declining drastically, in the past
20 years, still employs about
3,5Q0 men and 1,600 vessels.
Modern 60 ft, steel -hulled
deisel driven. fishing tugs have
now replaced the old
steam -powered wooden hull
tugs. Radar, '-depth . ,,Sounders,
ship' to snore; ship to ship
comrnunication.s, along with a
scientific knowledge M_of "fish
Nhabits :.have increased the -fis/rtm
harvests. Gi
and dip nets are each used for
differenr , i2ecies. One of'; the
major problems of the fishing
industry is the lamprey eel.
This • parasite gained entrance
into the lakes through the
.Welland Canal. The total
detrition of Lake -Trout end
Whitefish almost resulted. Now
with special poisons,• weir and
.electric.. weir,- the spawning of
the eel has almost been
checked.
Other. forms of pollution,
especially that of •' •industrial
-wastes` -. have hastened the
natural aging process in' the
Great Lakes- tremendously. An
early maturing could end the
entire existence of the ,'lakes lb: -
the future. Whether through
,;aging or ,• poisoning, pollution
will destroy 'tlie usefulness of
the' lakes. These lakes are so
valuable to North America, that
if they are destroyed the entire
economy would be in danger,
