placing an order for tug service.
Ashland Harbor is on the southeast side near the head of
Chequamegon Bay. The harbor is
sheltered from the storms of Lake
Superior by Chequamegon Point, Long Island, and the Apostle
Islands. However, the size of the bay
permits the generation of waves within itself, and in northeast storms, when
accompanied by swells coming in from the lake, heavy seas occur in the
bay. A breakwall northeast of the
Ashland wharves provides protection for the harbor facilities.
