Page 86 MEMBERSHIP NOTES • Institute member Cris Kohl has written "Treacherous Waters: Kingston's Shipwrecks", which includes over 200 shipwreck stories. Since Kingston is located where Lake Ontario ends and the St. Lawrence River begins, the area is rich in maritime history. Just a few of Kingston's highlights include " the construction of the largest warship ever employed on the Great Lakes, the building of the first steamship on the inland seas, the launching of the largest sailing ship ever built on the Canadian side of the Great Lakes, and the first-ever scuttling of a commercial vessel for the purpose of creating a Great Lakes scuba dive attraction. Each chapter covers a decade beginning in 1870 through 1930, and includes many maps, drawings, photographs, newspaper accounts and excellant footnotes. This book is available from the museum and retails for $17.95. Included in this issue is list of books available from the giftshop at the museum. At the time this issue went to the printer there were several more new books scheduled for delivery in the fall. Since it is hard to print a complete list of Great Lakes books available, we will note new book arrivals in Membership Notes and only pnnt the Book List once a year.

Boat watchers talked about the last time they had seen her under way and remarked that it would be good news to see the classic freighter once again. This photo was taken by Rod Burdick as the Ryerson passed downbound through the Soo Locks on Engineer's Day, June 27, 1997.
