Publisher's full black cloth, silver lettering on spine. Illustrated with 110 beautiful, full-page, B&W photographs by David Plowden. Since the mid-1850s when steamboats were first heralded as a swift and reliable method of freight transportation, these majestic vessels have criss-crossed the Great Lakes transporting everything from coal to iron ore and cement. Until the advent of the diesel locomotive engine, the speed and efficiency of the lake freighters was unchallenged. Today, however, the massive fleet has been reduced to a handful, and soon may be extinct. David Plowden has been documenting the Great Lakes steamers for years, and here presents his photographs and his evocative text. . Both the volume and the unclipped dust jacket are in perfect, pristine condition; unread, unmarked, tight, square, and clean. AS NEW/AS NEW. B&W Photographs. 4to 11" - 13" tall. 155 pp
