SIGNED! GREAT LAKES SHIPWRECKS & SURVIVORS by William Ratigan HC 1960

Description: Up for your consideration is this SIGNED by author vintage book: GREAT LAKES SHIPWRECKS & SURVIVORS by William Ratigan hardcover with dust jacket; 1960. IN TELLING the story of the most spectacular shipwrecks and of the most incredible survivals in the history of the Great Lakes, William Ratigan has dramatized the personalities of Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Ontario. Different in character and mood as only sisters can be, the five inland seas come to life in these pages. The tragedies on these oceans of fresh water rank second to none on the high seas, as the historical novelist and biographer emphasizes in his accounts of the memorable disasters that have littered the St. Lawrence Seaway with wrecks. He has recreated scenes of high courage and screaming panic; the holiday morning when the palatial excursion liner Eastland capsized at her pier in the Chicago River and 835 people drowned within clutching distance of busy downtown streets; the below-zero night in snow bound Duluth when an entire city scraped frost from its hillside windows to look out in horrified fascination at the storm swept harbor where the crew of the shipwrecked steel freighter Mataafa were freezing to death; the dark Sunday in November of 1913 when Lake Huron swallowed eight long ships without a man surviving to tell the tale; and the bitter Tuesday in November of 1958 when the Carl D. Bradley, longest ship ever lost in fresh water, plunged 360 feet to the bottom of Lake Michigan.... This particular book was owned by the author and given as a gift to one of his students. ( See author's label). The book is missing dust jacket but is in in good+ condition with tight binding and no missing or torn pages. ( Scarce when SIGNED copy). A great addition to your signed shipwreck reference library!
