White Hurricane by David G Brown is subtitled A Great Lakes November Gale and America's Deadliest Maritime Disaster. From LaSalle's Le Griffon in 1679 to the mighty Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975, November gales have sung vessels to the bottom of The Great Lakes. But no one was prepared for the might wind that materialized in November 1913. On Friday Nov. 7th, ships were leaving their port. By Sunday evening a churning disturbance had spread east from Lake Superior. Lake Huron was battered with winds of 90 mph ad 35 foot waves. The White Hurricane became the worst Great Lakes storm on record. Twelve ships sank and 31 more were stranded on rocks and beaches. At least 248 sailors lost their lives and the city of Cleveland faced the worst natural disaster in its history.
