On this episode we welcome Larry Jorgensen, author of the book "Shipwrecked and Rescued, Cars and Crew" which details the events of the car carrier City of Bangor. The carrier traveling on the Great Lakes had shipwrecked on a reef on Lake Superior. While there have been many shipwrecks on the Great Lakes, this store chronicles the only time ever of a shipment of cars which were also able to be rescued from the shipwreck. This is a fascinating story from 1927 has many layers, so much that by the end of the show you too will wonder how this book has not been made into a movie! We welcome you to support Larry by purchasing the book at shipwreckedandrescued.com. Enjoy!
