Description

312 pages plus 64 pages of black and white reproductions of photos. Index. "This is an historical record of the shipping disasters on the Great Lakes during the years 1880-1950. It is the life story of Captain Thomas Reid who conducted one of the largest salvaging companies on these and tributary waters during these years." - dust jacket. "In this book I have presented some of the highlights of Captain Reid's career, resorting frequently to the vernacular of the sailor at points where formality might have seemed an affectation. Inclusive excerpts are quoted from authentic logs and letters made available to me by Captain Reid and his familiy." - page 5. Bit of writing at top of front free endpaper. One-inch notch removed from dust jacket front flap. Book
