Download Graveyard of the Lakes: Great Lakes Books Series AudioBook Free
For the very first time, a historian and seasoned mariner looks beyond the precise circumstances of specific shipwrecks in an effort to reach a clearer understanding of the economic, politics, and emotional factors that have inspired the 25,000 wrecks on the fantastic Lakes within the last 300 years. Considering the whole tragic background of shipwrecks on North America's expansive inland seas, from the 1679 loss of the Griffon to the inexplicable sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975, Tag L. Thompson concludes a wreck is not an isolated event. In Graveyard of the Lakes, Thompson suggests that the majority of the damages and fatalities on the lakes have been the consequence of human error, which range from simple faults to gross incompetence. Furthermore to his persuasive analysis of the causes of shipwrecks, Thompson includes factual accounts of more than 100 wrecks. Graveyard of the Lakes will forever change the listener's perspective on shipwrecks. The booklet is shared by Wayne Express University Press.
