Summary:
"For centuries, the Great Lakes have been important channels for shipping and trade. While modern technology and safety measures have made the lakes much safer for ships today, the often-stormy waters have resulted in thousands of shipwrecks throughout history. This captivating book tells the stories of some of these wrecks, such as the Edmund Fitzgerald, Argo, and SS Eastland."-- Provided by publisher.
