The soft cover book, "Ahoy & Farewell" was published in 1969 which covered Great Lakes ships, built, scrapped or that had left the Great Lakes during the period from 1955 to 1969. A new greatly expanded "Ahoy & Farewell II" is now available which covers over 440 different vessels during the subsequent twenty-five year period ending in 1994.

Ahoy & Farewell II offers an in depth life history of each vessel with statistics and renames, ownership changes as well as anecdotal information when available [which is considerable] . A must for anyone interested in the boats or those who have sailed on them. After years of research it is finally ready. 250 pages, 65 pictures and an extensive 8 page cross index.
