Dangerous Coast

Dangerous Coast tells the maritime history of one of the most shipwreck-strewn areas in the Great Lakes: Lake Superior's Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Schooners, wood and steel steamers as well as other historic craft all met their end in the lake's frigid waters. Some are still undiscovered, silently waiting for the shipwreck hunter to solve their mysteries.

Tales of wreck and rescue, dreadful disaster, murder, mayhem, treachery and selfless sacrifice, all echo along these cold and lonely shores.

From the high towers of romantic lighthouses to the icy depths of the first of Michigan's underwater preserves, Dangerous Coast covers it all.

Anyone interested in the tales of the Inland Seas; sailors, hikers, divers, or armchair adventurers, will find this book a splendid read. The serious wreck diver will find the wreck coordinates and technical data very helpful.

Profusely illustrated with rare photographs and underwater sketches, it is the perfect guide to the maritime history of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
