Indiana Harbor is located on the southwest shore of Lake Michigan in the town of East Chicago, Indiana. East Chicago is located about 10 miles from Chicago Harbor. The harbor is not natural as it was built with the authorization of the River and Harbor Act of 1913. The main commodities going through the harbor are iron ore, steel, petroleum-based products, limestone, and other bulk objects. The depth of the harbor depends on the level of Lake Michigan.
