Now’s the time to order Port history

Now off the press (or nearly so):
Pride of the Inland Seas:
An Illustrated History of
the Port of Duluth-Superior

This 288-page book is exhuastively researched and richly illustrated with 200 historical photographs. The book is a “must-read” for boatwatchers and anyone connected to the Great Lakes maritime community. It will be right at home in classrooms, too.

And it will be a great gift item for family, friends and clients.

Copies are to be in our hands, and in the hands of booksellers, by late July. They may be ordered now for $35 each (plus shipping and handling) from:
