 Brand new flagship Myron C. Taylor arriving Two Harbors Minnesota on her Maiden Voyage in 1929 to load taconite. |
 Myron C. Taylor unloading date and location unknown, but the William J. Olcott and another steamship are visible which may help date photo. |
 Myron C. Taylor in port. I cannot tell if she is loading or unloading at this point or even where it is as I have never seen rigs like that before. |

 Deck view in Fraser Shipyards in Superior, with some extensive work being done. The Edward B. Greene docked behind her. |
 Historic view of the Munson against the upper dock, Clymer alone then the Calcite II, Cedarville, Rogers City, and T.W. Robinson from left to right rafted together in lay up also with the Limestone upper, and Dolomite lower sitting in lay up. Winter lay up of 1964-65, this is pretty rare in itself as this was the only lay up that the Cedarville and the Calcite II shared where they were basically identical in appearance and that this was the last one that the Cedarville was in, it looks to be early 1965 and the Cedarville is beginning to either fit out or lay up but looking at the ice conditions, it appears to be fit out. |
