Rescue From Grampa Woo

Published November 1998

Description

Rescue From Grampa Woo is an exciting tale of fear and heroism on Lake Superior. It tells of the rescue of two American men from a propellerless cruise ship as it drifts out to sea in hurricane-force winds. Three ships, two Canadian, one American, fight to save it. How successful were they? What kind of people would take these risks for others? What is it about Lake Superior that inspires such awe?

Rescue From Grampa Woo is a mariner’s story, a sea story, a gripping account of adventure, risk and dedication. It culminated in the awarding of three Governor General’s Medals of Bravery.

"I know when not to push the lake."

- Captain Gerry Dawson
