Book Signing by Theodore J. Karamanski – “Great Lake: An Unnatural History of Lake Michigan”

Due to extreme cold and dangerous wind chill, the Chicago Maritime Museum has made the difficult decision to reschedule our Friday, January 23rd program with Dr. Theodore Karamanski. The program will now be held on Friday, February 20th.

If you already purchased a ticket to the January 23rd event, your ticket will be accepted for the rescheduled program. If you’d like your ticket refunded, please feel free to call the museum or email info@chicagomaritimemuseum.org. Tickets to the February 20th event will be available on our website soon.

Stay warm!

Join Ted Karamanski at the Chicago Maritime Museum on February 20th for a book signing and discussion of his new book, Great Lake: An Unnatural History of Lake Michigan. 

Unlike the mountains, deserts, and oceans of North America, Lake Michigan is unique in that it has always interacted with human populations. Karamanski’s book explores the way the lake has shaped and been shaped by the people who have lived along its shores, from the Indigenous Native Americans to the invasive Euro-Americans.

The presentation is $5 for members and $10 for non-members, and includes Bites & Beverages, the museum’s volunteer-operated hospitality service, which begins at 6:30. Seating is limited, so reserve your place today. Virtual seats are also available with a live connection to the Q&A that follows.

Join us at chicagomaritimemuseum.org or call (773) 376-1982. The Chicago Maritime Museum is located on the lower level of the Bridgeport Art Center at 1200 W 35th Street. Parking is free in the north lot.
