About this listen

This book tells the tale of the fabled schooner, Rouse Simmons, the most famous Christmas story to emerge from the Great Lakes. This ship, loaded with Christmas trees for Chicago, sailed into the year's worst storm and disappeared in Lake Michigan on November 23, 1912, taking with it Captain Herman Schuenemann and about 15 others who were on board.

Listen to the history of Christmas trees, the many ships that carried Christmas trees, this one tragic ship in particular, its jovial captain, his amazing family, the discovery of this shipwreck, and the modern rekindling of the Christmas tree ship tradition - as crafted by Cris Kohl and Joan Forsberg, two of the best-known Great Lakes maritime historians.
