Overview

During the last years of the 19th century, the Duluth Harbor, situated between the sister cities of Duluth, Minnesota, and Superior, was the birthplace of a bold and innovative, and a decidedly odd-looking class of Great Lakes barges and steamships known as whalebacks. Capt. Alexander McDougall and his American Steel Barge Company built the curved-decked, snout-nosed whalebacks on the shores of the harbor. The vessels were a radical departure, in design, form, and construction. This book is a good start for the topic of whalebacks. I would like to see it in a little larger format and with the addition of some line drawings or artists.
