On August 24 1969, Victor Jackson, author of "Crossing Lake Michigan in a Bathtub," landed near Manitowac, Wisconsin, after completing a 14 and-a-half hour trip across Lake Michigan in a bathtub. Find out how he made the 65-mile journey in a household-type tub welded to a frame supported by four 30 gallon oil drums and powered by a 20-horsepower outboard motor.
