Dive into the incredible true story of the schooner Rouse Simmons—known as the “Christmas Tree Ship”—in this richly illustrated book by Cris Kohl and Joan Forsberg. The ship carried Christmas trees from northern Michigan to Chicago but tragically disappeared in a November storm on Lake Michigan in 1912.

Featuring colour and black-&-white photographs, underwater imagery, and the authors’ thoughtful historical narrative, this book traces the ship’s legacy, the courageous crews who sailed the lakes, and how the story lives on today.

Perfect for history buffs, Great Lakes enthusiasts, maritime collectors, and anyone charmed by a blend of tragedy, hope and holiday tradition.
