Museum MEMBERSHIP NEWS: GLMI Board of Director, Elizabeth Sherman, lives in Muskegon and operates a Bed & Breakfast. She has also recently released her new book which is now available at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum store. "Beyond the Windswept Dunes: The Story of Maritime Muskegon" takes the reader into a world of maritime adventure as it was experienced by the sailors, passengers, rescue workers, shipping magnates, industrialists, and many other people whose livelihoods revolved around Michigan's port city of Muskegon. At one time the leading edge of westward expansion, Muskegon was a place where lumbering and lakers merged and where rails met decks, a place situated midway along the coast of a great and sometimes stormy inland sea. Here Elizabeth Sherman offers both a shipping history and a portrait of the city. The events covered range from the visit by the British sloop H.M.S. Felicity in 1779 through Muskegon's boom years as "Lumber Queen of the World", from the city's revitalization with the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway to its recent establishment of a floating museum complex for historic naval vessels. The book offers many first-hand statements of shipwreck survivors and other witnesses, lending an authentic voice to the accounts. I would like to add that many of our longtime members will recognize the wide range of vessels covered: Rouse Simmons, Lyman M. Davis, Alabama, Charles H. Hackley, Milwaukee Clipper, Makefjell and USS Silversides. Several stories of these vessels have appeared in Telescope and the author has added an excellent bibliography for those interested in research. Beyond the Windswept Dunes: the Story of Maritime Muskegon by Elizabeth Sherman contains 240 pages with 60 illustrations. Cost is $29.95. GLMI members receive 10% discount, but please add $5.00 for postage.
