Are those Great Lake vessels? (Excusing the Cape Breton Miner, obviously not a laker)

The Power and the Miner are deep sea the other 2 are yes "lakers" the first 2 were "self Unloaders" and could unload anywhere with out a "shore gang".. we hauled gypsum, coal, iron ore etc in those.. They had 3 sets of conveyors in the hold with gates all along them that dropped the product onto the conveyors that fed ionto that boom on the deck ..it could be positioned over the pier  and pile the product into big piles..also salt from the Windsor Ontario salt mines (thus Windsor Salt brand salt)

I used to be really into the lakers, i went to Sault Ste Marie for vacation a couple of years ago and i spent most of my time at the locks taking pics and doing ship profiles.. i find them really interesting, especially the self unloaders :)
