A of the Day
This day in Automotive History
April 9 1905 The first aerial car ferry was put in
operation over the ship canal from Lake Avenue,
Duluth, Minnesota, to Minnesota Point, Minnesota.
The car was suspended in the air from a
superstructure that loomed 135 feet clear of Lake
Superior. The truss in the center of the structure
was 51 feet high, placing the highest point of the
superstructure 186 feet off of the surface of Lake
Superior. The aerial ferry spanned 393 feet in
length while its car platform measured 34 feet by 50
feet. The ferry could accommodate six cars and two
glassed-in passenger cabins with a carrying
capacity of 125,000 pounds. The platform itself
hung 12 feet above the water line. A round trip on
the aerial car ferry from Duluth to Minnesota Point
lasted 10 minutes.
