Great Lakes Shipping Log 1980-1989 - Great Lakes Shipping Book Damaged Corners

Description

This book is marked as being used in the sense that it has sustained some minor shipping damage in the form of the book's cover having slightly bent corners.  Please refer to the photographs of this damage.  All of the book's pages are intact.  Due to this damage and the fact that it was from an early production lot with a few of the pictures being slightly dark and not as sharp as in subsequent printings it is being offered at a significantly reduced price.  Regardless of it having come from an early lot, the text is identical to subsequent printings.
From the Back Cover
GREAT LAKES SHIPPING LOG 1980-1989 is a detailed study chronicling the events of one of the most challenging periods in the history of shipping on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway.
While the decade represented the end of what has proven thus far to be the last major phase of shipbuilding on the Inland Seas, it also witnessed a large number of demolition sales that removed over one-third of the vessels in the U.S. and Canadian lake fleets.
In addition to others, features of this narrative include: new vessel construction and modernization projects, vessel name changes, fleet sales and acquisitions, accidents and other pertinent events, seasonal cargo statistics, historical synopses for many of the ships sold for dismantling, and over 1,000 vessel names cross-referenced.
