Edited by Roger LeLievre
168 pages
Welcome to the 2010, 51st edition of Marine Publishing Co.'s annual boatwatching field guide “Know Your Ships”.
“Know Your Ships”
is meant not only for
those with a casual interest in the parade of nautical commerce that passes
our shores, but also for more serious-minded individuals who have a passion
for all the details about the ships that ply the inland seas.
ABOUT OUR BOOK
In addition to including everything ship fans need to know about the freighters, tankers, tugs, salties, passenger ships and other vessels sailing the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway,
The “Know Your Ships 2010” includes ...
Complete data on hundreds of U.S., Canadian and international-flag cargo vessels, tugs, excursion boats and barges in regular Great Lakes & St. Lawrence Seaway service, including owner and port of registry, year and shipyard where built, length, beam, depth, cargo capacity and former names, plus type of engine, horsepower and top speed for major Great Lakes and Seaway vessels.
Changes in the shipping scene from year to year are chronicled in the “Passages” section, the meanings of whistle signals are explained and the book also includes eight pages of colorful stack markings of all Great Lakes & Seaway fleets, including stack markings of many of the saltwater fleets that regularly visit the Seaway system.
But that's not all!
We continue to look back into our past with more images from our archives, visit some of the Great Lakes’ most popular lighthouses and explore the St. Lawrence Seaway on the passenger ship Canadian Empress.
“Know Your Ships" has covered the waterfront for more than five decades. We’ve enjoyed putting this issue together and hope you enjoy reading it. Smooth sailing!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING
This is a stunning, hardcover record of an extraordinary ship, beautifully photographed and lovingly produced to exacting standards, with text capturing perfectly the magic that is a steamboat in action, the St. Marys Challenger. |
