RE:RE:Skagway Assembly Approves Funding This is construction of the new terminal for ore ships. The old terminal had to be put to pasture. Too old and dilapidated. That's why Minto couldn't use the port anymore. New terminal is being built by company near Bellingham, Washington. Before constructing the ramps, 72 pilings must be laid out on the sea at depths to support the terminal. If all is timely, they could have it together in means to show we WILL INDEED have a definite shipping port.
