These stories of survival showcase the human struggle against the forces of nature, where men and women, alongside their ships, confront the threat of destruction. Originally published in 1952. This book offers a curated selection of the most notable shipwrecks on the Great Lakes. While it would be impossible to document every wreck, this collection includes true accounts of some of the most thrilling incidents, accompanied by striking photographs. The tales span over a century, covering heroic rescues from Duluth to the St. Lawrence, and featuring vessels from the old wooden immigrant steamers and majestic sailing ships to the modern vessels of today. Rich in lake lore, these stories offer fresh perspectives without repeating content from Mr. Bowen's previous works, Lore of the Lakes and Memories of the Lakes.
