Walter Havighurst is known primarily as a historian of the Midwest, but he also wrote fiction, much of it influenced by his experiences at sea in the 1920s. Havighurst worked as a deckhand on Great Lakes freighters and Pacific lumber schooners before going to college and served in the merchant marine before completing graduate school. His first novel, <em>Pier 17<\/em> (1935), is about a young sailor with ambitions of writing fiction who gets caught up in a shipping strike in Seattle. <em>The Quiet Shore<\/em> (1937) and<em> Signature of Time <\/em>(1949) both describe life on Lake Erie. <em>No Homeward Course <\/em>(1941) concerns a German sea raider. <em>The Long Ships Passing <\/em>(1942), a regional history of the Great Lakes for which he is best known, draws on his deckhand experiences aboard Great Lakes freighters.<strong><strong><strong><strong><a id=\"a170\" name=\"havighurst\"><\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>The Quiet Shore<\/em> (1937)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 160px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/in.ernet.dli.2015.74280\">Archive.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>Signature of Time&nbsp;<\/em>(1949)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 160px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/in.ernet.dli.2015.180102\">Archive.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>keywords: white, male<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Peter H.
