Destination: Leelanau: Boats Sailing Leelanau Waters, 1835-1900

"Where did they come from, and where did they go?" These simple questions led author Claudia Goudschaal on a quest to find and record the working boats that visited the shores of Leelanau County, Michigan. The result is this compendium of the schooners and small wooden steamers of 1835-1900-a time of rapid change, of fortunes made and lost, of storms and shipwrecks, and of ordinary working life, too.
