Hello, folks

I was wondering whether someone could help me with a couple of questions related to shipping on Lake Ontario.

1) I have a vague recollection of reading that the Port of Rochester officially closed sometime around 1990, after decades of declining activity, leaving Oswego as the only active port on the lake (that is to say, on the New York side of the lake). Do I have that, and the date, right? There's a Port of Rochester web site, but it doesn't seem to have much other than artist's renderings of the new facility being built for the Rochester-Toronto fast ferry expected next year. Another web site, however, seems to suggest that facilities are currently available at the site. Could it be that the port has been reopened? Or am I just completely off base?

2) Coal used to be brought by train from Pennsylvania to Rochester/Charlotte, Sodus Point, and Oswego and then shipped from those points to Canada. I believe this began generally in the 1870s. I know it ended at Sodus Point in 1967, in large part because power plants were shifting away from coal. Can anyone tell me when it ended at Rochester or Oswego? Again, I have a vague recollection that some of the coal passing through Sodus Point was headed to Oswego, suggesting the possibility that direct shipments there had ended earlier.

Thanks for your time,
Scott Monje
