Let me echo John's recommendation. I have read all of Wes' books and enjoyed then all tremendously. While a number of them deal primarily with shipwrecks on the Great Lakes, they are definately real page turners.

I have not met Wes yet, but he is from Saginaw Michigan, just a few miles from me. He is a member of the Saginaw River Marine Historical Society, which is the group I belong to and that is restoring the Saginaw River Rear Range Light.
