First Lakes Job and Sailor Life on an Ore Boat
A 1935 summer starting as a deckhand on a Great Lakes ore boat reveals hard lessons. The narrator recalls a blunt fatherly warning against bad liquor and bad women, three days in Superior Wisconsin, and a roommate’s pornographic magazines that fill the cabin.
