BOOK TINESCE®> "Along the Lakes" by Doug Garrett is largely an autobiography of the author. Chapter 1 is entitled "My Introduction to the Boats" and be- gan when Mr, Garrett joined the famous ASHCROFT in 1934 as a deck-~ WN hand. He sailed on various ships and in various capacities. He work- ed as a wheelsman, a second mate and both he and his wife worked in the galley. He left sailing in 1961 at the request of his wife. Stories of the ASHCROFT, the NORONIC, the VICTORIOUS and SEAWAY QUEEN are told along with countless other ships. If you were ever a shipmate with the author your name is probably in the book. One of our members, Mr. Howard Vair, is mentioned as a passenger on the NORONIC. Mr. Vair put on several programs for our Society. Several chapters deal with tragedies on the Lakes - the NORONIC, the HAMONIC, 1913 Storm, 1905 Storm, the MORRELL, BRADLEY and EMPEROR to mention a few. There are a number of excellent photos in the book at the beginning of each chapter. Included are the ASSINIBOIA after the November 1913 storm, the open pilothouse of the NORONIC, the KAMLOOPS and many others. This book is not written by an English major from a prominent col- lege but by a man writing as he would talk and as fellow sailors would talk and think. It is a very interesting book and should be read by any Great Lakes ship lover. You may obtain a copy from the author at 29 Preston Avenue, Sarnia, Ontario, for $3.95.
