Duluth in 1911 was a city of roughly 78,000 people, according to the 1910 census, crowded onto the hills above the western tip of Lake Superior. Mesabi Range iron ore, carried by the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway, poured into the city's ore docks, and ships took it east through the lakes to the steel mills of the lower Great Lakes. Grain elevators, coal docks, and sawmills still kept men at work along the harbor, and the Duluth Board of Trade promoted the port to investors. Since 1905 the Aerial Transfer Bridge had carried cars and foot passengers across the ship canal to Minnesota Point, a crossing that residents used daily and regarded as one of the city's notable engineering works.
