Piracy on the Great Lakes: True Tales of Freshwater Pirates by Mikel B. Classen
As a sailor myself it was a pleasure to read Mikel Classen's new book Piracy on the Great Lakes.
If the cargo could be shipped it could also be shipwrecked, sometimes on purpose by the pirates of the time.
Read it and enjoy these tales of Great Lakes seamen, some trustworthy and some by all accounts treacherous.
