In this firsthand account of life aboard the ships of the Great
Lakes, Mark Thompson weaves together the threads of a story that
relives a centuries-old tradition. Thompson began his logbook after
he reported for duty aboard the Calcite II at Fraser Shipyard in
Superior, Wisconsin, for the 1996 shipping season. A Sailor's
Logbook is the first such book to chronicle a sailor's life at the
end of the twentieth century. Not just a detailing of weather,
cargo, and crew relations, A Sailor's Logbook is also an account of
the daily lives of a diverse group of crewmembers as they share
their sailing knowledge, "sea stories," and the many memories that
accompany the pictures. Although there are ample resources in
museums, archival collections, and company files regarding
statistical logbook information, A Sailor's Logbook details the
intricacies of daily life on a Great Lakes freighter. Thompson
navigates the reader through the waters of the Great Lakes and his
own life in this very special narrative.
