*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Indigo
The Great Lakes are graveyards of a vast number of shipwrecks (30,000 by some estimates), and Lake Michigan has more than the other four lakes combined. The stories of those wrecks tell the history of that mighty lake in its endless, mercurial challenge to human endeavor. Michael Schumacher charts the course of shipping disasters great and small on Lake Michigan. He illuminates the details of maritime weather and shipcraft, the lives devoted to and lost on the water, and the mistakes and monumental failures that led to these ships' watery ends. Here are tragic tales like that of the Eastland , the deadliest shipwreck in Great Lakes history, lost while docked in the Chicago River; the Rouse Simmons , a wooden schooner loaded with Christmas trees; the train ferry Milwaukee and the Wisconsin , a package freighter, gone within one week of each other in October 1929; and the passenger vessel the Lady Elgin , a devastating loss met with incredible heroism. The stories of these shipwrecks, spanning a full century of commercial traffic on Lake Michigan, document the myriad forms of bravery and misfortune that mark our encounters with the Great Lakes.
