Of course, the Great Lakes have often exacted a heavy toll, as demonstrated by the mysterious disappearance of the \u003cem\u003eGriffon \u003c\/em\u003eand the harrowing sinking of \u003cem\u003ePere Marquette 18\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighlighting vessels from the colonial era down to modern times, historian Glenn A.
