An entire section is dedicated to the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald the most famous maritime loss in modern times in Lake Superior in 1975.Chilling watercolor illustrations, photographs, maps, and news clippings accentuate Ratigans compelling and dramatic storytelling. Sailors, historians, and general readers alike will be swept away by these unforgettable tales of tragedy and heroism.

I was really looking forward to reading Great Lakes Shipwrecks & Survivals, but my copy arrived with some pages bent and damaged. The stories are intriguing, but I expected better quality for the price. Not what I hoped for.

Interesting, but somewhat repetitive
I found Great Lakes Shipwrecks & Survivals to be fascinating, but some sections felt a bit repetitive. The illustrations are beautiful, though! It’s a nice coffee table book, but I wish it had more diverse stories.

Good, but some parts dragged
I enjoyed the history in Great Lakes Shipwrecks & Survivals, but a few chapters seemed to drag on. The writing could’ve been tighter. Still, if you’re into shipwrecks, there’s plenty of interesting info to dive into.
