Wisconsin Marine Historical Society. Ever since the British schooner Archange found "quiet waters" in Milwaukee Bay in 1778, the city's location on Lake Michigan has made it an important center for trade. Filled with rare archival images, this photo-history explores the growth of Milwaukee's port and three riverfronts (the Milwaukee, Menomonee and Kinnickinnic Rivers) from the 1800s to the present day. 128 pages, 227 B&W photographs, 6½"x 9¼", softcover.
