The shiploading gallery was added during the 1961 shipping season
to accomodate loading ocean vessels.
The Jackson makes about a half-dozen trips each season for grain
at the head of the lakes.

On a good day the Jackson can load in about five hours before leaving port.
Before the use of self-unloaders in the grain trade a
round-trip could take up to a week to complete.
