Home Port Erie: Voices of Silent Images

Robert J. MacDonald and David Frew. Erie: Erie County Historical Society, 1997. 334pp., 408 photographs. Erie is, and has always been, a port town. Its central Lake Erie location, canal linkage to Pittsburgh and natural harbor were critical to its development. Bob MacDonald spent his life collecting stories and photos of the harbor and the people who worked and played there. David Frew has helped to make these silent voices speak to the reader in a way that renews interest in our maritime heritage. Available in hardback only.
