ACTION-PACKED STORIES OF SHIPS SUCH AS:SS Benajmin Noble · SS Carl D. Bradley · SS Eastland · SS Edmund Fitzgerald · SS G. P. Griffith · SS Henry Steinbrenner · SS Island Queen · SS Kaliyuga · SS Kamloops · SS Lady Elgin · SS Mataafa · SS Noronic AHOY, MATE!Step into the past and aboard the decks of these twenty-one proud vessels, each one launched with high hopes but doomed finally to disaster. From the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, the last major freighter lost on the lakes, to the Le Griffin, the ill-fated liner that mysteriously disappeared during a ruthless storm, author Michael J. Varhola spins these tales with heart-pounding drama. Whether battered by hurricane-force gales, gouged by hidden rocks, or simply sabotaged by poor judgment, these ships live on in the most compelling oceangoing stories you've ever read.
