ON THE COVER:
Port photographer David Schauer
rose before the sun to capture this
spectacular photo of two vessels at
work in Duluth on June 23, 2026. In the
foreground, the Canadian laker Algoma
Intrepid discharges salt at Compass
Minerals, and in the background, the
Wisconsin-built American Century
departs with iron ore.
Printed on 10% post-consumer waste paper.
