Shipwrecks of Lake Erie : tragedy in the quadrangle / David Frew.
"As the shallowest of the Great Lakes, Lake Erie is prone to sudden, steep waves and dense fogs. These deadly conditions were hazardous to steamers that crossed on busy nineteenth-century trade routes and ships that battled on its surface in the War of 1812. A veritable graveyard, Lake Erie's Quadrangle might be responsible for more shipwrecks per square mile than any other region in the world. Author David Frew dives deep to discover the mysteries of some of Lake Erie's most notorious wrecks."-- Amazon.
