Excellent Shipwreck Lore,
By
This review is from: Lake Michigan Shipwrecks: South Haven to Grand Haven (Paperback)
Spans 1821 to 1980, chronicling shipwrecks on the eastern shore of southern Lake Michigan. A well-researched narrative which contains numerous excerpts from the actual newspaper accounts of these maritime disasters. Some of these stories are harrowing! Also contains a few photos.However, the author's narrative was rather dry, uninspired, and was poorly proofread.
