The Sea Wolf - Gay MI - Literary Sites on Waymarking.com

Clearly a literary reference to Jack London's book Sea Wolf. A very clever idea.

Shipwreck planking and anchor chain from Captain wolf Larson's ship, The Ghost are displayed here. This was no doubt placed for tourist. The sign reads:

SHIP WRECK PLANKING AND
ANCHOR CHAIN FOUND IN
THE LAKE BOTTOM FROM
CAPTAIN WOLD lARSON'S
SHIP THE GHOST

The Sea-Wolf is a 1904 psychological adventure novel by American novelist Jack London. The book's protagonist, Humphrey van Weyden, is a literary critic who is a survivor of an ocean collision and who comes under the dominance of Wolf Larsen, the powerful and amoral sea captain who rescues him. Its first printing of forty thousand copies was immediately sold out before publication on the strength of London's previous The Call of the Wild.[1] Ambrose Bierce wrote, "The great thing—and it is among the greatest of things—is that tremendous creation, Wolf Larsen... the hewing out and setting up of such a figure is enough for a man to do in one lifetime... The love element, with its absurd suppressions, and impossible proprieties, is awful."[2]
