The Herbert C. Jackson arrived in port on Thursday at 7 p.m. (pictured). After taking on fuel at the Murphy Fuel Dock, it went over to the CHS elevator in Superior to load grain. The Jackson was built in 1959, a reminder of life on the Great Lakes before the thousand footers arrived. It is "only" 690 feet long and was built with the traditional pilot house at the bow of the boat, meaning the captain looked directly into the water in front of the boat. Looking back, he would see the rest of the boat. 1,000-footers are the reverse. The captain operates the boat from a pilot house at the stern of the boat. He sees the entire boat in front of him and water behind him.
