 Nautical Mind :: Books :: Naval History :: The Great Lakes & the War of 1812 :: Freshwater Heritage: A History of Sail on the Great Lakes 1670- 1918

  Freshwater Heritage: A History of Sail on the Great Lakes 1670- 1918
Freshwater Heritage: A History of Sail on the Great Lakes 1670- 1918 
Bamford's extensive historical research 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. Also covered is the shipbuilders and to the challenges of constructing these vessels in the wilderness of the colonies as well as 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.
