TELESCOPE Page 142 MEMBERSHIP NOTES e@ On Saturday, December 6th from 10-3 p.m., the 5th Annual Marine Flea Market will be held in DeRoy Hall at the museum. Space for last year's event was sold out and the same is expected for this year. Some of the items to be sold by dealers include lithographs, original artwork, postcards, books, magazines, calendars and Great Lakes memorabilia. Several new books have come out in time for Christmas. Skip Gillham has written Ships Along the Seawway-Volume Four. The format is almost the same as the previous volumes, but several chapters have been eliminated due to such vessels no longer operating on the lakes (for example canallers, crane ships and rail car ferries have limited service). Most of ships featured in this book were sailing in 1985 and a chapter has been added to update the reader on vessels featured in previous volumes. This book costs $9.95 and can be ordered through the museum or Stonehouse Publications in St. Catharines, Ontario. Skip Gillham has also co-authored a book with Don Revell titled The Welland Canal - A Vistor's Guide. This 24-page book tells the history of the Welland Canal and show maps of the previous routes. Other chapters include the different ships that travel the canal and short histories of the Canadian fleets. The last two chapters deal with the mainte- nance of the canal and the companies operating along the canal. This book costs $6.95 and is available at the museum or from Vanwell Publishing Ltd. MEETING NOTICES e@ Mr. William Carey will present slides of long forgotten Great Lakes vessels on Friday, Novem- ber 21st at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Carey, a retired Chief Engineer of Great Lakes and ocean-going vessels, will show vessels that sailed on the lakes in the 1940's and 1950's.

In the September issue of Telescope, Mr. Greg Rudnick was listed as a speaker for January, 1987. Due to the uncertainty of the weather, he will speak at a later date.
