Abstract

The Duluth ship canal was dug through Minnesota Point in 1870 to benefit the Duluth harbor.  The City of Superior, fearing the canal would change the flow of water through their ship entry, brought suit against Duluth to halt the construction. The collection contains a Circuit Court of the United States Bill of Complaint against the City of Duluth and a letter addressed to the City.

Dates: 1871
