Canada: Eden Press, 1988. Book. Illus. by Altobello, Peter David. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. 128 pages. "Bears witness to a bygone era when the ships of the Great Lakes were built according to a single premise, the need to transport steel, iron ore, grain and cargo from port to port. Yet the exteriors of these extraordinary ships belie the interiors, which were constructed with a less utilitarian purpose in mind. Fine woodwork was applied to crew cabins; dining rooms and staterooms were finished with white oak, mahogany, walnut and brass.
