His talent behind the lens has left us all a legacy of unforgettable images of a time long past in the maritime history of the Great Lakes.
Over 300 views of the Pere Marquette Railway Lake Michigan car ferry fleet are included in Volume I plus additional close-up detail views taken on board the ship, and of other Great Lakes vessels, Lightships, Lighthouses and fellow crew members ALMOST 450 photos included!
