About This Book
A teenage boy joins his father and a friend aboard a Great Lakes freighter for a summer of work and adventure. Their voyage mixes routine shipboard tasks with escalating dangers: a dramatic man-overboard rescue, the discovery of rich iron-ore deposits, an outbreak of fire that leads to an arson accusation, and a violent storm that tests seamanship and loyalty. The narrative highlights crew camaraderie, quick thinking under pressure, and the interplay of industrial concerns and personal stakes as the characters face legal, natural, and human challenges before reaching safety in port.
