11780 Thunder Bay | Discovered 1942 Oct. 3 by L. Oterma at Turku. |
Thunder Bay, located on the shores of Lake Superior, is the most populous municipality in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. Formed in 1970 as the amalgamation of two cities, Thunder Bay is known as "the Lakehead" because it is Canada's westernmost port on the Great Lakes and the end of Great Lakes Navigation. |
