Wave Action and Breakwater Location, Taconite Harbor (Two Islands), Lake Superior, Minnesota: Hydraulic Model Investigation

Abstract

A hydraulic model investigation of Taconite Harbor, Two Islands, Minnesota, was conducted on a 1:150-scale hydraulic model, geometrically similar to and accurately reproducing in detail the prototype harbor, to determine whether the proposed harbor plan would adequately protect the docking area from wave action, and if it would not, to devise a plan that would provide sufficient protection at minimum cost.
