D. G. Kerr
"Sunday, August 13, 1939
Steamer Kerr
passing under Ambassador Bridge
Detroit Mich"
On September 7, 1921, the dock gang at Two Harbors loaded this ship with 12,507 tons of iron ore in 16 minutes and 30 seconds. This stunt not only shattered the previous record (9,362 tons in 25 minutes), it's not been approached since.
This ship, the second to bear Kerr's name, was launched in 1916; she was a 60 foot wide 600 footer. Except for the loading record, she seems to have had an uneventful career. She was sold for scrap in 1980, but was lost at sea off the Azores while being towed to Europe.
David Garrett Kerr was Vice President for mining and transportation at U.S. Steel from 1909 through 1932; this expanded the job he'd first held with Carnegie Steel and had retained when the Steel Trust was formed. He'd begun his career with Carnegie in the lab at the Homestead Works at age 18, then had earned a college degree at Lehigh and quickly become a Carnegie partner. This made him quite wealthy; when he passed away in 1948 his fortune was reported as $10 million.
