Summary

"A book of the true adventures aboard Great Lakes vessels. Every story details an actual event. Every name is that of a real person who was caught up in the wrecks, rescues and sometimes just everyday adventures on the fresh water seas. Nothing contained in this book is fictional. These thrilling adventures are all a part of Great Lakes maritime history and are told as they actually happened"--P. [4] of cover.
