Icebreakers
Traveling by boat in cold climates would be extremely difficult without icebreakers. These special boats help create paths in ice that allow other vessels to travel frigid, ice-filled waters to deliver people and supplies to places often inaccessible without their hard work. Readers will dive in to explore how icebreakers work and what special tools they have to keep other boats safe in the water. Full-color photographs show icebreakers leading ships to Antarctica and other ice breaking projects while exploring the other places these boats work around the world.

Book
Sail, Steam, and Diesel
Water transportation has played a key role in the Great Lakes region’s settlement and economic growth, from providing entry into the new lake states to offering cheap transportation for the goods they produced. There are numerous tales surrounding the Great Lakes shipping trade, but few storytellers have addressed the factors that influenced the use, design, and evolution of the ships that sailed the inland seas. Sail, Steam, and Diesel: Moving Cargo on the Great Lakes provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of Great Lakes ships over the centuries, from small birch-bark canoes originally used in the region to the massive thousand-footers of today. The author also looks at the economics of vessel operation in the context of the expanding scope of the shipping industry, which was crucial in catapulting America into becoming an industrial juggernaut. The captains of industry and the sailors whose labor propelled the trade populate this account, which also offers solemn acknowledgment of the high cost paid in both lost ships and lives. Although they might not realize it, millions of Americans have owed their livelihoods to the Great Lakes boats, and this volume is an excellent way to recognize the importance of this regional industry.
