The successful completion of this research relied heavily on the hard work and dedication of many different individuals and institutions. Major project funding was provided by the University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute and Wisconsin Coastal Management Program. None of this research would have been possible without hours of dedication and work conducted by volunteers. These include divers George Mayhew, Matt Schultz, John Janzen, John Scoles, Gayle Orner, Randy Wallander, Matt Groppi, Jay Hanson, and John Nosaine. Ken Merryman and Tom Crossman conducted ROV work, and Jim Robinson and Mike Brodd provided boat support. This season we especially would like to recognize the entire staff of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ Conservation Warden Corps for assistance with buoys, boat support, and everything they do to protect our State’s submerged cultural resources. A special thank you goes to former Wisconsin Historical Society Maritime Archaeologist, Keith Meverden for his help identifying various shipwreck components and providing additional assistance throughout the past two field seasons. Another special thank you goes to Suzze Johnson who reported the remains of Lookout, Alaska, and La Salle while flying a powered parachute along the shoreline of Lake Michigan in the spring of 2015. These previously unreported wrecks had been inundated with sand and she graciously shared her aerial photographs of the wreck sites. Additional thanks goes to Mike Thuss for also photographing the wrecks from the air and gathering GPS information for each site. Russell Leitz deserves special recognition for his creation and maintenance of the newspaper database of maritime events in Wisconsin. He augmented the newspaper database with extra references of the service histories for each of the shipwrecks worked on over this field season. Furthermore, he was a major contributor to the work conducted during the field school held for Wisconsin Underwater Archaeology Association (WUAA) and Great Lakes Shipwreck

Ram, Wayne State University n the morning of July 24, 1915, hundreds of employees of the West- Oern Electric Company and their families boarded the passenger steamship Eastland for a day trip to Michigan City, Indiana. Built in 1903, this twin screw, steel hulled steamship was considered a fast boat on her regular run. Yet throughout her service life, her design revealed a series of problems with stability. Additionally, changes such as more lifeboats in the aftermath of the Titanic disaster, repositioning of engines, and alterations to her upper cabins, made these built-in issues far worse. These failings would come to a disastrous head at the dock on the Chicago River. With over 2,500 passengers aboard, the ship heeled back and forth as the chief engineer struggled to control the ship’s stability and failed. At 7:30 a.m., the Eastland heeled to port, coming to rest on the river bottom, trapping pas- sengers inside the hull and throwing many more into the river.

CI^ARK, •,-'j-^j-rj,--:. j^rtrr.:f-'- H <^1 OR, MEMORIES OF FOUR YEARS SERVICE AVITH THE OGLETHORPES, OF AUGUSTA, GEORGIA BY WALTER A. CLARK, ORDERLY SERGEANT. AUGUSTA, GA Chronicle Printing Company. DEDICATION To the surviving members of the Oglethorpes, with whom I shared the dangers and hardships of soldier life and to the memory of those who fell on the firing line, or from ghostly cots in hospital Avards, with fevered lip and wasted forms, "drifted out on the unknown sea that rolls round all the Avorld," these memories are tenderly and afifectionatelv inscribed bv their old friend and comrade. PREFACE. For the gratification of my old comrades and in grate- hil memory of their constant kindness during all our years of comradeship these records have been written. The Avriter claims no special qualification for the task save as it may lie in the fact that no other survivor of the Company has so large a fund of material from which to draw for such a purpose. In addition to a war journal, whose entries cover all my four years service, nearly every letter Avritten by me from camp in those eventful years has been preserved. WHiatever lack, therefore, these pages may possess on other lines, they furnish at least a truth­ ful portrait of what I saw and felt as a soldier. It has beeen my purpose to picture the lights rather than the shadoAvs of our soldier life.

  • Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan
    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.

    Guía de Chicago (Estados Unidos) Los mejores rincones para tus viajes descubiertos por los usuarios de minube pd4ml evaluation copy. visit http://pd4ml.com Sobre las guías de viajes de minube.com ¿Qué sería de un viajero sin una guía? ¿Qué sería del nuevo viajero sin las recomendaciones reales de otras personas? ¿Qué sería del viajero del siglo XXI sin su guía de viaje personalizada? El viajero ha evolucionado. Hasta ahora, las guías de viaje tradicionales eran su mejor compañero de viaje. Sin embargo, con la aparición de los nuevos medios y de Internet, la preparación del viaje es mucho más detallada y el viajero tiende a informarse, a construir su viaje en función de sus gustos e intereses y a prepararse su viaje en base a las recomendaciones reales de otros viajeros como él. Uniendo estos dos conceptos: las guías de viaje y las recomendaciones reales de los viajeros, minube ha creado las guías de viaje personalizadas, permitiendo al viajero crearse su guía en base a sus necesidades y gracias a los lugares recomendados por los viajeros. Hay dos tipos diferentes: las guías de destinos (por ejemplo, Nueva York), o las guías personalizadas en base a los rincones que el usuario se ha ido guardando en su perfil (útil para viajes que transcurren por diferentes ciudades: por ejemplo, “En coche por la Costa Azul”). En un minuto, el viajero puede crear su guía basada en las categorías que más le interesen: museos, restaurantes, parques naturales…Para que no se pierda nada de lo que le interesa y con la seguridad de saber que se trata de los sitios que los propios viajeros han descubierto y han querido compartir.
