In early November 1913, not quite 19 months after the loss of the Titanic in midatlantic, an autumn gale descended on the Great Lakes. Gales of November - like the one that sank the Edmund Fitzgerald in the 1970s - are a fact of life for Great Lakes mariners, but this one was anything but ordinary. Meteorologists now believe that a blast of cold polar air met a warm, moist air mass entrained in a low-pressure cell moving up from the Gulf of Mexico through the U.S. heartland, and the result was a violent weather bomb and the worst recorded storm in Great Lakes history. The storm lasted four days, with sustained winds as high as 75 miles per hour, freezing temperatures, white-out blizzard conditions, and mountainous seas. U.S. Weather Bureau) issued storm warnings on Friday morning, November 7, the warnings contained no hint of anything more than 50-mile-per-hour winds for Friday and Saturday. Most ships were making their final trips of the season; their captains knew that as autumn turned to winter the weather would only get worse, and then the lakes would freeze. Across the Great Lakes, hundreds of ships left port that weekend, heading directly into the jaws of what became a survival storm. On the ocean, with sea room, a well-found ship can often survive by running off before a storm until it blows out. On the Great Lakes there is never sufficient sea room. In the driving snow, ship masters could only guess where the treacherous shores lay. Ships iced up and became topheavy; some turned turtle. By Monday evening 19 ships had sunk, another two dozen were driven ashore, and at least 238 sailors had lost their lives. second-story eaves, and facing shortages of milk, bread, and meat, was confronting the worst natural disaster in its history. White Hurricane recreates the four-day storm with narrative intensity and factual depth. To make sense of this big, sprawling, multifaceted story, author David Brown develops it chronologically and focuses on the most exciting human dramas. One or two ships in each of the four hardest hit lakes - Superior, Huron, Michigan, and Erie - carry the narrative, while other disasters are reported more briefly as they occur. original and secondary sources the richest, most exciting, most mysterious, and most humanly moving stories. The destructive impacts ashore - especially the privations in Cleveland - weave another narrative strand. The U.S. Weather Bureau and the U.S. Coast Guard owe their existence in part to the Storm of 1913. Like Isaac's Storm and The Heart of the Sea, White Hurricane is both thrilling narrative and scrupulous history. This is the book that carries The Perfect Storm to the heart of America, and David Brown, a Great Lakes mariner and writer and the author of The Last Log of the Titanic, is the ideal guide.

Works well after some super glue
Color: Black
Functional after slight modification. The towel bar, scrub daddy holder and brush holders will move and come out whenever you remove your towel/sponge/brushes. We super glued all the moving parts so they don't come apart during use and it was been working great after some adjustments. I would think other similar products would have the same issue. I would still recommend if you plan to glue all the moving parts together.

Works well!
Color: Black
I like having all my dish cleaning supplies handy! The drain part works well and helps the scrubbers not get mildewy.

Love that it drains into the sink!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Loving it so far! I put water in it to show how it drains into the sink. But when the water that comes off of the scrub brushes and sponges from regular usage, it does drain like it’s supposed too. There is some water that sits there but for the most part, it does drain into the sink. The little bit of water that sits there, ends up evaporating. It fits the 26 fl. Oz. Of dish soap, which is great! It holds the sponges in place. Helps to keep things around the sink clean. I had another storage container that held my stuff in but it didn’t drain into the sink so mold would form and I would have to throw stuff away. I like the fact this one has a drain, so that water doesn’t stand on the bottom and create mold after awhile. It’s easy to assemble. The quality is great! It’s easy to clean!// 8/23/25 love it so much, I bought a 2nd one for the other side of my sink! It’s also easy to clean as well.

Great sink caddy!
Color: White
This sink organizer is simple yet allows variable ways to accommodate storage. It has plenty of space to store a large bottle of dish soap in addition to sponges, brushes, and scrub pads. I choose the white design which complements my white cabinets perfectly!
