On May 3rd, 1959, a British cargo ship named the Ramon de Larrinaga sailed under Duluth's Aerial Lift Bridge and became the first oceangoing vessel in history to reach the western end of Lake Superior. She had crossed the Atlantic from Liverpool. She had navigated sixteen sets of locks through the newly opened St. Lawrence Seaway. And she had arrived in a city that sixty years earlier had been described as a lifeless corpse. Today's episode is the story of how Minnesota's Iron Range helped build a waterway, how entire communities were flooded to make it possible, and how a port city at the heart of the continent became connected to the world.
