Description:

The Great Lakes have been a stage for the American Revolution and the American Civil War; they have been a bloody battlefield and a watery grave; they have seen greed, politics and misfortune, and incomparable acts of courage and compassion.

Many a Midnight Ship brings to life the powerful history of the greatest northern waterway of the North American continent. These fourteen stories bring to life the majesty of the Great Lakes and the tragedy bestowed upon its violent waves. From the 'coffin' ship Atlantic, which foundered in 1852 along with some 300 lives, and which the salvagers say still has millions of dollars worth of gold on board, to the burning of The Erie and some 250 Dutch immigrants, to the violent storm that tore The Algoma apart off Isle Royale, Michigan where crew and passengers clamored for their lives only sixty feet from shore as treacherous currents prevented most of them from reaching land.
