The two cities share a harbor and are one of the most important ports on the Great Lakes. Among the items shipped out are iron ore (taconite) and grain. Both cities have museums devoted to the local nautical heritage. A major destination for tourists is the Aerial Lift Bridge spanning the short canal into Duluths harbor. It is a vertical lift bridge, and notable in that it was originally built as an exceedingly rare aerial transfer bridge.
