Description
We all know that ships have been lost on the oceans but how many of us are aware that over 6,000 ships have gone to a watery grave on Canada's Great Lakes? Cheryl MacDonald's new book recounts the the most unforgettable disasters on the Great Lakese from the sinking of LaSalle's Frontenac in 1678 to the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975.
