Ships Gone Missing The Great Lakes Storm of 1913 by Robert J. Hemming re-creates the harrowing drama of the sailors and ships that fought to survive one of the most ferocious maritime storms ever recorded. In November 1913, for four horror filled days, a storm raged across the Great Lakes. It sank a dozen ships and drowned almost 300 sailors. Mariners were unprepared in the days before radio communication and weather forecasting. The book is well researched and detailed and includes vintage photos along with the informative text.
