Over more than three centuries, land and water were transformed by successive maritime societies: Indigenous, colonial, industrial, and recreational. Drawing on contemporary journals, memoirs, official reports, maps, and illustrations, Dr. Harrison presents the flow of history through the voices of participants and eyewitnesses. The readings are excerpts from his award-winning book, Michigan’s Venice: The Transformation of the St. Clair Maritime Landscape, 1640 – 2000.
