Marquette Lower Harbor Ore Dock

Highlight • Monument

This is simply a magnificent structure. It is the historic Ore Dock that is in Marquette’s Lower Harbor. It is a relic of Marquette’s iron ore mining and maritime industry used for loading ore onto lake freighters. It is no longer in use today but was once a prominent pillar to the local Marquette economy. The Upper Harbor Ore Dock at Presque Isle is still in use for those interested in seeing such a giant structure in its working environment.
