22 June 1855 - The steamer "Illinois" passes through the locks at Sault Ste Marie, marking the beginning of unobstructed passage between Lakes Superior and Huron (and no further need to stop at the Soo and portage cargo around the rapids).

The opening gave a huge boost to Michigan’s mining industries, particularly copper and iron ore, with the state also producing large amounts of salt, oil, natural gas, and gypsum.
