Ore carriers? What ports would you visit?

Tankers only. Toledo and Cleveland on Erie, maybe Erie.
Hit a lot of ports on them all, except never was on Superior.
Orion was the tanker's name.
Cleveland Tankers (Ashland Oil) was home ported in Toledo,
and I was with them most the time, but did a stint on the Standard
Oil tanker Illinois out of Whiting.
Only did it one season. Lonely existence unless you like bar girls
for companionship. I don't.
