Additional Details:
The world famous locks at Saulte Ste. Marie, Mich., which at the close of 1941 season have broken all records for freight tonnage passed to and from Lake Superior - 111,121,684 tons. These locks overcome the rushing St. Mary's Falls (Sault Rapids) with a drop of twenty feet and send the multitude of lake freighters and passenger ship quietly and smoothly on their way to all lake ports on the Great Lakes and Atlantic Ocean with greater tonnage than all other canals of the world combined
