{"product_id":"9780912514215","title":"Shipwrecks of the Lakes","description":"\u003cp\u003eTales of shipwrecks have a definite fascination and a universal appeal. They are not only exciting and thrilling but usually contain some element of mystery. They recount the struggle of man to survive, pitting himself, or in several instances-herself, and the ship against the elements of destruction, calling forth his utmost skill, his strength, and his ingenuity, often with his very life as the high stake. Some emerge heroes; others are never heard from again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book are told only a selected number of the outstanding number of the shipwrecks of the Great Lakes. To attempt to put into a single book all the shipwrecks occurring on the Great Lakes would be sheer folly. Here are true tales of dozens of thrilling shipwrecks told in an interesting manner - complete with dozens of photographs. Heroic rescues from Duluth to the St. Lawrence make fascinating reading. Shipwrecks are recounted, covering a period of over one hundred years, from the old wooden immigrant steamers and the lofty-masted sailing vessels, up to the present ships of today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuch lake lore is woven into the tales of the wrecks, but nothing has been retold from Mr. Bowen's other books, Lore of the Lakes and Memories of the Lakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thunder Bay Press Michigan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016392556784,"sku":"9780912514215","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780912514215_p0.jpg?v=1763874159","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780912514215","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
