For ten years, Bruce Jenvey explored the Great Lakes as a journalist for Great Lakes Cruiser Magazine.

Here is a handpicked collection of Bruce’s favorite stories from his travels, stories of inspiration, ingenious innovation and valiant courage against all odds. These are the stories of The Cable, Albert Ocha, The Great Farini, The Battle of Lake Erie, The Lorain Tornado and more. Here are tales of humor and lessons learned like The Wreck Of The Gunilda and The Day Dave Bombed Detroit. There are legends, too, such as The Maid Of The Mist and Nanabosho, The Sleeping Giant, as well as the haunting at The Olde Angel Inn and The Ghosts Of Fort George. Here are over forty such stories in total that will surprise you, thrill you, and become part of your own Great Lakes Heritage.
