Description
The
ship
in the
photograph
is
the "
William
D
.
Crawford
"
being
unloaded
by a
Hulett
,
specialized
unloading
machine
. The
Whiskey
Island
Hulett
Ore
Unloaders
were
built
in
1912
for the
Pennsylvania
Railroad
(PRR)
by
Wellman
–
Seaver
–
Morgan
Company
of
Cleveland
. The
dock
is
located
in on
Whiskey
Island
in
Cleveland
,
Ohio
on the
coast
of
Lake
Erie
,
between
the
mouth
of the
Cuyahoga
River
and
Edgewater
Park
. The
Hulett
automatic
ore
unloader
was
invented
by
George
Hulett
of
Cleveland
,
Ohio
and
patented
in
1898
. The
first
working
machine
was
built
the
following
year
at
Conneaut
Harbor
in
Conneaut
,
Ohio
.
It
was
successful
, and
many
more
were
built
along
the
Great
Lakes
,
especially
the
southern
shore
of
Lake
Erie
to
unload
steamers
full
of
taconite
from the
iron
mines
near
Lake
Superior
.
Until
1903
they were
built
by
Webster
,
Camp
&
Lane
Company
of
Akron
,
Ohio
.
Substantial
improvements
were
later
made
on the
design
by
Samuel
T
.
Wellman
.
It
is
these
second-generation
Huletts
which
continue
to
stand
to this
day
. The
electrically
operated
Hulett
unloader
runs
on
two
sets
of
parallel
tracks
along
the
face
of the
docks
,
one
near
the
edge
and
one
further
back
, with
normally
enough
distance
for
four
sets
of
railroad
tracks
in
between
.
Steel
towers
,
riding
on
wheeled
trucks
,
support
girders
that
run
from
front
to
back
,
perpendicular
to the
dock
face
.
Along
these
girders
runs
a
carriage
which
can
move
toward
or
away
from the
dock
face
. This in
turn
carries
a
large
walking
beam
which
can
be
raised
or
lowered
; at the
dock-end
is
a
vertical
column
with a
large
scoop
bucket
on the
end
. A
parallel
beam
is
mounted
half-way
down
this
column
to
keep
the
column
vertical
as
it
is
raised
or
lowered
. The
machine's
operator
,
stationed
in the
vertical
beam
above
the
bucket
for
maximum
cargo
visibility
,
could
spin
the
beam
at any
angle
. The
scoop
bucket
is
thus
lowered
into the
ship's
hold
,
closed
to
capture
about
10
tons
of
ore
, then
raised
and
moved
back
toward
the
dock
. The
Cleveland
Huletts
were
used
until
1992
,
when
Conrail
,
who
had
inherited
them from
PRR
,
decided
to
abandon
them
because
self-unloading
boats
were
standard
on the
American
side
of the
lake
,
rending
them
obsolete
.
Most
, if not
all
, have
since
been
scrapped
. In
1999
,
only
six
remained
, the
group
of
four
at
Whiskey
Island
in
Cleveland
,
Ohio
the
oldest
. In
spite
of the
Cleveland
machines
being
on the
National
Register
of
Historic
Places
and
designated
as a
Historic
Mechanical
Engineering
Landmark
, they were
demolished
in
2000
by the
Cleveland
Port
Authority
to
enable
development
of the
land
they were
located
on. The
Port
Authority
disassembled
and
retained
two
Huletts
, to
enable
their
reconstruction
at
another
site
,
which
is
pending
.
