Running aground in the St. Lawrence River, rescuing a pleasure boat in a gale on Lake Erie, and sighting a flying saucer were just a few of the adventures experienced by the SS North American during the summer of 1960. The author had the privilege of serving aboard her as a Radio Operator while the Great Lakes passenger cruise ship era was drawing to a close. He relates these tales and also describes life onboard the ship including the Crew Show put on for the passengers. The book also puts the ship's history into perspective including its birth in 1913 and eventual demise in 1967. Numerous photos in the book add richness to the narrative.
