The Shipwreck Coast- The loss & discovery of Edward Hine's Fleet

Two storms in 1914 nearly decimated the Great Lakes fleet of the so-called "Napoleon of Lumber". The Oscoda, Curtis, Marvin and Peterson were destroyed and over 5 million board feet of lumber was scattered into lakes Superior, Huron and Michigan. Ric Mixter shares a preview of his lecture series and new documentary (2023)
