"The shipwrecks recovered here describe the terror and devastation of 15 Great Lake passenger ship disasters." This description may be from another edition of this product.
I got this book in the U.P. three years ago on a trip with a friend of mine. I always enjoyed the Great Lakes, and decided 'What the heck, I'll get a souvineer.' I grabbed this book and read almost all of it in a few hours. The stories and the detail they are put in take you right back to when these amazing ships were making their fatefull runs on the dangerous lakes. My personal favorite is the tale of the Pere Marquette No. 18, because while reading this book, I realized that I am related to the Joe Brezinski who was first mate and died aboard the ship. I especially enjoyed the pictures and the maps to show where the wrecks are located. This book is truly amazing and I will continue reading it time and time again.
