Book excerpt: Who hasn't daydreamed about chucking it all and sailing away on a boat to warmer climes, "far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife." John and Jane did just that. This true sailing adventure is told in the first person. It began as an idea and unfolded into a rich and fulfilling dream come true. A lifelong obsession of escape materialized in 1972 with the building and launching of their dreamboat Dursmirg. John and Jane went over the horizon and out to sea on a voyage of escape. Departing Duluth-Superior on the western terminus of the St. Lawrence, they crossed the Great Lakes, the Erie Canal and Hudson River to New York City. The motivations and inspirations for this five year plan of escape was hastened by the revelation that youth only comes to you one time. Procrastination scuttles many a dreamboat. It was an enchanting journey, and in more than one place they felt tempted to stay. But there was always the thought of Florida driving them on. Arriving in a fairyland, destiny planted them in St. Augustine. The book is recommended for all free spirited dreamers that have the drive and desire to live life to the fullest. This book was originally published as Travels of Dursmirg: Volume 1. It has been updated and upgraded with a totally new format.

Book excerpt: Freshwater Heritage: A History of Sail on the Great Lakes, 1670-1918 represents the culmination of a lifelong passion for sailing and for the history of sail as it applies to Canada. Author/sailor/boat builder Don Bamford takes us deep into the psyche of sailing as it applies to historical events on the Great Lakes and to stories of the people and places there at the time. His extensive historical research takes us back to the time of European contact, through the fate of the luckless Griffon and the achievements of the French in the era of sail. From the 1760s through to 1815, Bamford chronicles the glory years of the brigs, the schooners, the snows and the warships that dominated the lakes during the war years, with a particular emphasis on the War of 1812 and the race for naval domination of the Great Lakes. Much deserving attention is given to the shipbuilders and to the challenges of constructing these vessels in the wilderness of the colonies, all supported by carefully researched detail. Bamford also documents the critical role played by sailing vessels in the settlement process as newly arrived immigrants struggled to establish a home in a new land. The commercial role of sail on the Great Lakes is captured through the refinements to the schooners, the place of ships in the fur trade, the early days of fishing the lakes as an industry, the role of the timber droghers, the stone hookers and the first ore carriers of the first part of the 20th century. Never before has the place of sailing vessels in the early history of Canada’s Great Lakes been so inclusive, and made so accessible to the general reader. Richly illustrated with archival visuals and photographs of significant works of art, and supported by a full index and extensive end matter, Freshwater Heritage is a must for both the armchair historian and those who love to sail.

Book excerpt: "Landon Beach is the real deal. And The Sail is a top-notch thriller with suspense to burn " - Ted Bell, Author, NY Times Bestselling Alex Hawke SeriesAs a picturesque and perfect summer arrives in Michigan, a father and son prepare to sail around Lake Superior, one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world. It is a trip three years in the making and filled with planned stops for wreck diving, camping, and hiking. The water is deep, the wind is just right, and the sunsets are sublime. However, there is also a reason that the majority of the Superior coastline is referred to as remote. When you are far away from home and help, you only have yourself to count on when danger approaches. And for Robin and Tristian Norris, what they find will be a nightmare. It isn't a question of will they survive, but who will survive? Grab a lifejacket and find something or someone to hold on to, it's time to go sailing."Action, intrigue, and high stakes drama - just what you want from a thriller. Toss in a little lust and greed, and it's the perfect mix for a classic, on-the-run adventure."- Steve Berry, New York Times and #1 Internationally Bestselling Author

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sailing Directions for Lake Superior, St. Marys River, Straits of Mackinac, Vol. 1 It is the intention of the Hydrographic Office to publish, as soon as possible, a complete set of sailing directions for the Great Lakes. At present the sailing directions will be published in parts, beginning with the present work. This will be followed in turn by Lake Michigan, Lake Huron with the St. Clair and Detroit rivers, and Lake St. Clair and finally by lakes Erie and Ontario, with the St. Lawrence River to Montreal. At Montreal this work will connect with Hydrographic Office publica tion No. 100, thus giving complete sailing directions from Duluth, Minn., to the Atlantic Ocean. The amount of available information in regard to Lake Superior is very limited the descriptions of the lake itself and the harbors on the United States side having been obtained principally from the annual reports of the Chief of Engineers, U. S. Army, and from the charts published by the United States Engineers. The lake shore and harbors on the Canadian side are described from reports of the Canadian department of marine and fisheries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning the years 1840-1875, Beyond the Boundaries focuses on the settlement of Upper Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula, telling the story of reluctant pioneers who attempted to establish a decent measure of comfort, control, and security in what was in many ways a hostile environment. Moving beyond the technological history of the period found in his previous book Cradle to the Grave: Life, Work, and Death at the Lake Superior Copper Mines (OUP 1991), Lankton here focuses on the people of this region and how the copper mining affected their daily lives. A truly first-rate social history, Beyond the Boundaries will appeal to historians of the frontier and of Michigan and the Great Lakes region, as well as historians of technology, labor, and everyday life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly accessible history of ships and shipping on the Great Lakes, upper elementary readers are taken on a rip-roaring journey through the waterways of the upper Midwest. Great Ships on the Great Lakes explores the history of the region’s rivers, lakes, and inland seas—and the people and ships who navigated them. Read along as the first peoples paddle tributaries in birch bark canoes. Follow as European voyageurs pilot rivers and lakes to get beaver pelts back to the eastern market. Watch as settlers build towns and eventually cities on the shores of the Great Lakes. Listen to the stories of sailors, lighthouse keepers, and shipping agents whose livelihoods depended on the dangerous waters of Lake Michigan, Superior, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. Give an ear to their stories of unexpected tragedy and miraculous rescue, and heed their tales of risk and reward on the low seas. Great Ships also tells the story of sea battles and gunships, of the first vessels to travel beyond the Niagara, and of the treacherous storms and cold weather that caused thousands of ships to sink in the Great Lakes. Watch as underwater archaeologists solve the mysteries of Great Lakes shipwrecks today. And learn how the shift from sail to steam forever changed the history of shipping, as schooners made way for steamships and bulk freighters, and sailing became a recreation, not a hazardous way of life. Designed for the upper elementary classroom with emphasis on Michigan and Wisconsin, Great Ships on the Great Lakes includes a timeline of events, on-page vocabulary, and a list of resources and places to visit. Over 20 maps highlight the region’s maritime history. The accompanying Teacher’s Guide includes 18 classroom activities, arranged by chapter, including lessons on exploring shipwrecks and learning how glaciers moved across the landscape.

Book excerpt: In Sailing to St. Augustine you will meet a mix of characters that are entertaining, amusing and witty, and learn about the history of St. Augustine from the author's perspective in his search for the Fountain of Youth. John and Jane designed and built their dreamboat, sailed away, and lived with nature, out of the sea and off the land for fifteen glorious years? mission accomplished. Their dream came true. From their five year escape plan, which was recounted in the first volume of the Travels of Dursmirg series, Sailing Beyond Lake Superior, their destiny drew them to St. Augustine. A dedicated and determined joint effort saw their homebuilt sailboat Dursmirg launched on June 22, 1972. They sailed on a voyage of discovery south to the land with no snow. On December 14, 1972, they anchored for the first time in Florida waters. Florida had beckoned them, and now they had arrived. In the final book in the Travels of Dursmirg series, Sailing to St. Augustine, they step into the world of St. Augustine and meet the people, some of them rogues and social misfits, who made their time in St. Augustine a one-of-a-kind experience. St. Augustine had enticed and beguiled them from their first encounter, and now they would find there an irresistible opportunity to enjoy their new found lives to the fullest. They would discover the story of the Fountain of Youth and the intriguing history of St. Augustine, the oldest European settlement in the United States. Discover how St. Augustine, as a home base, perpetuated their adventures into even more far flung new frontiers. This story relates the action-packed events and exciting personalities that forever altered their lives and changed its course in St. Augustine, a place caught in the cross-hairs of time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Lakes were America’s first superhighway before railroad lines and roads arrived in the late nineteenth century. This book tells the story of the ships and boats on which the United States, barely decades old, moved to the country’s middle and beyond, established a robust industrial base, and became a world power, despite enduring a bloody Civil War. The “five sisters,” as the Great Lakes came to be called, would connect America’s far-reaching regions in the century ahead, carrying streams of Irish, German, and Scandinavian settlers to new lives, as the young nation expanded west. Initially, schooner fleets delivered passengers and goods to settlements along the lakes, including Chicago, Milwaukee, and Green Bay, and returned east with grain, lumber, and iron ore. Steam-driven vessels, including the lavish “palace” passenger steamers, followed, along with those specially designed to carry coal, grain, and iron ore. The era also produced a flourishing shipbuilding industry and saw recreational boating advance. In text and photographs, this book tells the story of a bygone era, of mariners and Mackinaw Boats, schooners and steamboats, all helping to advance the young nation westward.
