Book Details
Exciting aircraft salvage on lake Superior, against the odds.
After Disaster In The Gulf, Ramon F. D'Elosua has written another exciting adventure story about his intrepid captain, Terry Jackson, or T.J. and his loyal crew. There is love, adventure, and a few conflicts along the way that will keep you turning the pages. While helping out some friends, T.J. finds out about a shipment of very valuable war surplus aircraft parts that were lost in a storm in 1948 on Lake Superior. With an old chart, a story from an old man, and a lot of courage, he feels that it is worth the risk to try to salvage the stuff. He decides to purchase an old 98 foot work vessel to use for the venture. He counts on his friend, Jack to renovate the fire damaged craft. Jack is more then up to the task, and soon has the refit complete. The guys have to contend with the sudden storms, hidden ice, and a dangerous reef that has been claiming vessels ever since the first Indians got wrecked on it. There are greedy interlopers who think the guys have found a stash of gold, and want a piece of it. The fun starts when they have to find the lost cargo out on the stormy lake, using home-made search gear, and then have to salvage it from the 400 foot deep freezing water. The crew soon finds out why the words in the song say, when the waves turn the minutes into hours, are so true. All the risks pay off in the end, and the crew is looking forward to their next adventure.
