Limestone and aggregate, not boxes, are the cargo story around Meldrum Bay at the western tip of Manitoulin Island on Lake Huron. The village dock itself, at roughly 3.4 m, handles little commercial freight and works mainly as a marina and as the first Canadian customs port of entry for boats arriving from Michigan. The real tonnage moves next door, where Lafarge's Manitoulin quarry — among Canada's largest marine quarries — loads stone onto self-unloading bulkers on the Mississagi Strait. For container or general-cargo shipments the site is unsuitable; Little Current and the southern Lake Huron ports are the nearest commercial options.
