3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Shipwreck Lore, September 2, 2002

By	Lance C. Panzer (the Great Lakes) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
