 Nautical Mind :: Books :: Great Lakes :: Ships & Shipping :: Buckets and Belts: Evolution of the Great Lakes Self-Unloaders

  Buckets and Belts: Evolution of the Great Lakes Self-Unloaders
Buckets and Belts: Evolution of the Great Lakes Self-Unloaders 
The authors explore more than a century of innovative technological advancements in bulk cargo transport, from the Hennepin's conversion to a self-unloader in 1902 to today's thousand-foot-long mammoth lakers. Meet the people who designed these vessels, the crew who sailed them, and a few of the ships that went to the bottom of the lakes, often at a cost of all souls aboard.
