Found a great list of ships with names of Captains and buiders on the Great
Lakes in the early part of Great Lakes History. Thought I'd share it with
the list first and will be putting the information and link on the resource
page when I update Downward Bound.

This is an book that has been scanned and is online in total. Pages 40-50
starts a list of ships, etc. sailing the Great Lakes. The other parts of
this book deal with towns along the shores of each lake with a description
of each.
