If you can get it out of the lakes, you can ship the stuff anywhere. I
suppose you wouldn't want to take a self-unloader on the high seas.

Why not? They travel Lake Superior.

I think mostly the much bigger waves. Ninety foot waves are not
unheard of in the North Atlantic. The Queen Mary had a wave take out
the pilothouse windows and they are more than ninety feet above sea
level. She came close to capsizing. Superior doesn't have waves
originating thousands of miles away adding to the stuff kicked up
within a few hundred miles.
