These inland seas have a turbulent history and are site of many shipwrecks. This guide to the collisions, wrecks and disasters on the Great Lakes is the best I've read. Ring the ship's bell in salute to this rediscovered series by Skip Kadar." —Nicolas Gilmartin Teranzi, Online Critics Corner This meticulously researched book provides a fact-filled guide to shipwrecks on the Great Lakes. A former harbormaster, "Skip" Kadar became fascinated with the regional history and began researching ships that now lie on the bottom of the freshwater seas. That led to a series of factual books, with this being the first from AAeB. This well-illustrated volume lists the ships and their stories — including the Edmund Fitzgerald heralded in the Gordon Lightfoot song.
