Reader Reviews
This book has several stories collected by the author during his trips around Lake Superior, including stories of lost ships, old ships resurrected from the water, an account of "Yankee Girl's" voyage across the Pacific, and a reconstruction of the "Edmund Fitzgerald's" last hours. The author also includes additional notes and and epilogue for each story that give background detail and how he learned about the story. It was a fast read and an enjoyable one for those who are interested in the sea and sailing.
