Story
The fearsome wrath of the storms that brew over the Great Lakes has challenged and defeated some of the staunchest vessels constructed in the shipyards of port cities along the US and Canadian lakeshores. Here Richard Gebhart tells the tales of some of these ships and their captains and crews, from their launches to their sad demises—or sometimes, their celebrated retirements. This volume is a must-hear for anyone intrigued by the maritime history of the Great Lakes.

Story
Die zahme kleine Schwester der Nordsee – das ist für Viele die Ostsee. Ein Vorurteil, wenn man sich anschaut, was es in der Geschichte zu entdecken gibt: Die Wikinger. Die weitverzweigte Hanse. Die großen Kämpfe zwischen den sich konsolidierenden Staaten der frühen Neuzeit. Die Abgründe des 20. Jahrhunderts. Aber auch, angelockt von der Landschaft, die Künstler auf der Suche nach Inspiration. Und die Urlauber auf Erholungssuche. Wasser trennt nicht, es verbindet. Ständig waren Menschen auf diesem Meer unterwegs. Ihre Motive? Satt werden. Reich werden. Mehr Macht bekommen. Neues entdecken. Da musste doch noch was sein, jenseits des Horizonts!

Story
A total of 305,000 enslaved Africans arrived in the New World aboard American vessels over a span of two hundred years as American merchants and mariners sailed to Africa and to the Caribbean to acquire and sell captives. Using exhaustive archival research, including many collections that have never been used before, historian Sean M. Kelley argues that slave trading needs to be seen as integral to the larger story of American slavery.
