Location: Spears & Sons Coal Dock, Marquette, MI
The Spears and Sons coal dock was located in downtown Marquette just east of the LS&I offices and freight house. It was serviced by the LS&I from the north and the DSS&A from the south. [LSI2]
This facility brought in coal by lake freighter and loaded it into gons for distribution by the railroads to mines and other industries. It likely provided coal for home heating needs in the area.
