Hardcover This hardbound, enamel-stock book consists of 424 enthralling pages, beautifully illustrated with 675 individual ship photographs. Many of these are extremely rare and have never been published before. The scope of the vessels described ranges from tugs and small ferries to the most modern bulk carriers that have been a part of the Great Lakes scene and now are gone. Ship dimensional data, engine specifications, tonnages and ownership are all provided in succinct form.
All ship names are cross-indexed.
We Remember These are entirely NEW vessels which have been selected because of their particular contribution to the life and lore of the Great Lakes and could not, because of size constraints, be included in the first volume. Like its two predecessors this volume encompasses a very special era of history and tells the story of more than 160 vessels which, in their passage, touched the lives of many and left their passing indelibly etched in the fabric of life along the Great Lakes. These along with the tediously researched history, visually chronicle the life of each vessel. Naturally, not all the thousands of vessels that have ventured into these inland seas can be recounted with any single book. Indeed that lies outside the scope of this book and is perhaps an impossible accomplishment.
