The sun rises down the middle of the Ore Dock twice a year in Marquette, Michigan
The dock was built in 1911 and is still commercially active. An ore dock is a large structure used for loading ore (typically from railway cars or ore jennies) onto ships, which then carry the ore to steelworks or to transshipment points. Most known ore docks were constructed near iron mines on the upper Great Lakes and served the lower Great Lakes.
