Violent storms churn up waves and unpredictable currents capsize large vessels or cast them onto shoals and rocks where they are battered to pieces. An estimated 10,000 ships have fallen prey to the fury of the Great Lakes during its 150 years of navigation history. This book of maritime disasters is well researched and documented. It includes 149 black and white photographs of wrecks from the late 19th century as well as the 20th century. Highly recommended by Lighthouse Depot.
