This is beautiful! It's so nice to see a color picture(!) of this facility, looking all clean and well-maintained in its heyday.

Let me correct peaceocake's comment. The company which was bought by a Russian firm was Rouge Steel, originally part of Ford Motor Company, and is approximately 3 miles from this facility. It's now Severstal Steel. Great Lakes Steel (pictured) was in bankruptcy when it was bought by US Steel in 2003, and now known as the "Great Lakes Works". The plant is currently in operation, with many of the same employees. This photo shows a portion of the ironmaking facility, located on Zug Island. The gas holder was torn down years ago.

My dad worked at Great Lakes Steel from sometime in the 1950's to about early 1970's. He was hurt in an explosion there on Memorial Day, 1972. I have looked everywhere on the internet for info on that explosion and cannot find anything. Does anyone remember that explosion and have any info on it? Thanks.

This photo has been blogged to Old Steel, New Library of Congress on Michigan in Pictures. It's so great to see my all time favorite web site becoming a part of my all time favorite community site! Much as I love Detroit’s rich industrial history, I really hope that you can put a few photos from elsewhere in the state, including some that highlight Michigan’s natural beauty! In any case, you are very cordially invited to add your Michigan photos to the Absolute Michigan pool!
