Sunken: Shipwrecks of Lake Michigan
Chuck Groth
(Compiled by)
Description
Meet Chase, a boy who conquered his fear of deep water while exploring shipwrecks on
Lake Superior with a new friend he met at the museum, Bri. Bri, short for Brizo, is a girl with incredible knowledge about the wrecks, storms, and heroes of the Great Lakes.
Using a magical map, the two begin an adventure that allows them to time travel back to
the day of some of the most horrific wrecks in Lake Michigan's history.
With Bri's guidance, Chase experiences the harrowing details of each of the ship's final hours. How did the ship sink? Why did it sink? Was it wrecked due to a storm, fire, ice, collisions, faulty materials, or human error?

"This beautiful book is intended for young readers, but don't be fooled. It's a treat for readers of all ages. Beautiful photographs and maps combine with a fascinating retelling of Lake Michigan's maritime tragedies. Bravo for Sunken!"
"WOW! Young history enthusiasts will be made breathless by Kathy Groth's accounts of memorable Lake Michigan shipwrecks! In the second of her Sunken Shipwreck books, the author has uncovered dozens of legendary accidents and unsolved mysteries since French explorer Robert de La Salle journeyed across the Lake almost 350 years ago!
