Ice‑bound freighters, phantom lights, and crews who simply vanished—Dwight Boyer gathers the Great Lakes’ oddest true stories into one brisk volume. Read a single chapter over coffee or binge the whole book on a rainy afternoon; either way, you’ll glance at the lakes a little differently next time.
This book provides an in-depth analysis of various intriguing maritime incidents, with each chapter focusing on a specific case and including detailed information gathered from shipping logs, Coast Guard files, and interviews.
The story accurately captures the events with a regional perspective on Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Ontario, and includes helpful visual aid in the form of course headings, cargo notes, and weather snapshots.
