Dennis Hale has been a survivor his entire life, from the moment of his birth to his reckless days as a teenager hitch-hiking across the country. But nothing could prepare him for his tragic ordeal on the steamship Daniel J. Morrell. The Morrell was ripped in two by gale-force winds, the entire crew was tossed into frigid waters. Dennis and three others made it to a life raft…only to face 30 foot waves and freezing overnight temperatures. The sole survivor persevered, clad only in a life jacket, pea coat and his underwear. This is his story…

In Deadly Voyage-The S.S. Daniel J. Morrell Tragedy, Mr. Kantar takes his reader through a tale that is, in turns, harrowing, tragic, frustrating, uplifting, suspenseful and ultimately, historically important.  This book would be a great addition to any Great Lakes maritime book collection.  Soft cover with 108 pages.
