Living in the small port city of Owen Sound (Ontario, Canada) provides me with the opportunity to marvel at the large freighters, sailboats and other assorted vessels as they visit the shores of this historic Great Lakes city (and beyond). For much of its early history, Owen Sound was considered a major port. Its location on Georgian Bay provided much needed access to the upper Great Lakes as well as rail transit to the lower Great Lakes and points south. At its commercial peak, the port of Owen Sound was known as the “Chicago of the North”. Today, while no longer one of the the Great Lakes’ busiest commercial ports, Owen Sound remains an important part of Canada’s shipping heritage. Two commercial silos remain in operation and it continues to be an important winter port for a few Great Lakes freighters each year.
