Marquette’s Lower Harbor Ore Dock was constructed for loading iron ore from nearby mines’ rail cars onto ore boats for further transport. With railway tracks along the top, rail cars would bottom dump (gravity feed) ore into “pockets”. Each pocket’s hinged chute lowered to drop the ore into the hold of a ship moored adjacent to the dock. The pockets are wider at the top than the bottom; the chutes are steel and project out over the water at a slight angle from the sides of the docks.
