Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up and down the Great Lakes, wherever captains and seamen met, one of the chief topics of conversation is still the Great Storm-the worst disaster in Great Lakes history. By men of the Lakes, November 9, 1913 will always be remembered as Black Sunday, for it brought death to hundreds of their companions and destruction to scores of ships of the Lakes fleet. Each man who survived the Storm has a fascinating story to tell. Freshwater Fury is the first comprehensive history of the Great Storm. Author Frank Barcus, who has met and talked with many survivors during his trips on Lakes freighters over the past twenty years, presents here their vivid eye-witness accounts. The many drawings, maps, and diagrams executed by the author add pictorial interest to the story of this dramatic struggle between men and the elements.
Download or read book Detroit 1900 1930 written by Richard Bak and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new addition to the Images of America series, Richard Bak takes us on a visual journey through Detroit's golden era, encompassing the first three decades of the twentieth century. It was during this time that the City of Detroit experienced its most rapid physical growth and underwent an unprecedented pace of social and technological change. Detroit: 1900-1930 contains nearly 190 illustrations, including studio portraits, snapshots, postcards, songsheet covers, and period advertisements. Collectively, these images evoke a past that is often too easily forgotten as older Detroiters pass away. As you thumb through the pages of this book, you will encounter such influential people as Henry Ford and other automotive pioneers who helped to "put the world on wheels." Experience daily life as it was lived at the time of the First World War, and discover the major role Detroit played in this historic conflict. This volume highlights the wave of immigration that occurred here at the turn of the century, when roughly half of the city's population hailed from other countries. Also featured are various scenes from the "Roaring Twenties," the ill-fated experiment in Prohibition, and the effect of the Great Depression on the city's economy.

Book excerpt: "Records show that more than 3,500 lakers have been lost on the five Great Lakes. The bottoms of the big lakes are littered with the remains of wooden schooners, sidewheel steamers, arched package freighters, iron and steel ore freighters of all kinds, many well-preserved in the cold dark depths. Undiscovered are the vast majority of these wrecks, waiting for decades and in many cases, centuries. The blue-green expanse of the Great Lakes is in essence an enormous ice water Museum, where some of the exhibits are on open display, some are accessible to only a few visitors and most are waiting in the depths, forgotten or undiscovered. In this book the reader will be taken on a tour of the ice water museum, and along the way we will look into the obscure and often forgotten adventures of the vessels and people who have sailed the lakes."--Back cover.
