Editorial Reviews

Review

Review of content only in Nautical Magazine, March 2002.


Product Description

The United States Live Saving Service (LSS), from which many of the entries in this book were taken, was formed in the 1870s and in 1914 absorbed by the United States Coast Guard (USCG). The function of the LSS was to lend assistance to ships in distress. Frequently ships, disabled by storms, would head for the shoreline and ground their vessels in the hope of saving the crew, vessel and cargo. The LSS maintained lookouts for these vessels and would attempt a rescue. The book will be of particular interest to divers, fishermen and armchair adventurers.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT REFERENCE BOOK!, June 2, 1999
By A Customer
I liked this book as a reference to when any shipwreck happened and where it happened on the Great Lakes. I have never seen a listing as complete as this listing. There is a small ship photo section in the back, and some quality photos are shown within it. I like this book also because of its completeness. However, it is not a sit down by the fire and read type of book. It contains lists of shipwrecks and not chapters that contain actual stories. It is highly recommmended by me for research purposes. Enjoy the book...

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't even steal this book!, August 30, 2001
"Guide" is much too descriptive for the information in this book. I think the author just photocopied a list of wrecks and had them bound. There is a lot of wrecks in this book but VERY little information about them. If you're thinking about buying this book you can have mine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Forgotten treasure..., September 1, 2008
This book was from 1962. Great shape and it was an atlas of shipwrecks on the Great lakes. No nonsense-it listed the facts. Nothing but the facts and nothing more. No stories, just facts. Great stuff and I loved it.
