The book is lavishly illustrated with underwater photographs, old maps and prints, paintings of officers and crew, etc. Endpapers feature line drawings of the two vessels. From the Dust Jacket: "Author Emily Cain presents eye-witness accounts of the naval campaigns in which Hamilton and Scourge were involved as well as a documented picture of their pre-war role on the lake as merchant schooners. In particular, Seaman Ned Myers recounts firsthand the sinking of Hamilton and Scourge as told to one-time shipmate James Fenimore Cooper. Profusely illustrated with color photographs by NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC photographer Emory Kristof, engravings, portraits, documents, and drawings, GHOST SHIPS delightfully brings to life the story of these historical treasures" List of chapter notes/sources.
