{"product_id":"book-hn7g","title":"Too Much Sea for Their Decks","description":"Against the backdrop of the extraordinary history of Great Lakes shipping, \u003ci\u003eToo Much Sea for Their Decks\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles shipwrecked schooners, wooden freighters, early steel-hulled steamers, whalebacks, and bulk carriers all lost in the frigid waters of Lake Superior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded are compelling accounts of vessels destined for infamy, such as that of the \u003ci\u003eStranger\u003c\/i\u003e, a slender wooden schooner swallowed by the lake in 1875; an account of the whaleback \u003ci\u003eWilson\u003c\/i\u003e, rammed by a large commercial freighter in broad daylight and in calm seas; and the mysterious loss of the \u003ci\u003eKamloops\u003c\/i\u003e, a package freighter that went down in a storm and whose sailors were found on the Isle Royale the following spring, having escaped the wreck only to die of exposure on the island. Then there is the ill-fated \u003ci\u003eSteinbrenner\u003c\/i\u003e, plagued by bad luck from the time of her construction to her eventual sinking in 1953. These tales and more represent loss of life and property—and are haunting stories of brave and heroic crews.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArranged chronologically and presented in three sections covering Minnesota's North Shore, Isle Royale, and the three biggest storms in Minnesota's Great Lakes history (the 1905 \u003ci\u003eMataafa\u003c\/i\u003e storm, the 1913 hurricane on the lakes, and the 1940 Armistice Day storm), each shipwreck documented within provides a piece to the history of shipping on Lake Superior.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49352327758128,"sku":"BDhn7g","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49352327790896,"sku":"ZEhn7g","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49352327823664,"sku":"ZMhn7g","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/hn7g-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780372192","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-hn7g","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
