Explores one of the most haunting traditions in Great Lakes shipwreck history: the final messages written by sailors who understood they were facing disaster. Mixter, a respected maritime historian, documents authentic cases in which crew members penned farewell notes and sealed them in bottles, hoping their words would reach loved ones even if they themselves did not survive. Drawing on historical research, survivor accounts, archival newspaper reporting, and Mixters own investigative work, the book traces multiple Great Lakes tragedies, from shipwrecks and violent storms to unexplained disappearances.
