Not to give my age away. but I can remember my grandfather calling to me to come out on the dock to see the last of the whalebacks steaming down Lake Macatawa to Lake Michigan.

GOOD STARTBy captaindadTHIS BOOK IS A GOOD START FOR THE TOPIC OF WHALEBACKS.I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT IN A LITTLE LARGER FORMAT AND WITH THE ADDITION OF SOME LINE DRAWINGS OR ARTIST RENDITIONS.UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE PROBABLY NOT TOO MANY PHOTOS OUT THERE FROM THIS TIME PERIOD ONE CAN APPRECIATE THE AUTHORS WORK.
