The Christmas Tree Ship
The Rouse Simmons was the original “Christmas Tree Ship” that sailed from Wisconsin to Chicago at the beginning of the holiday season for more than 30 years in the early 1900’s. The ship was a three-masted schooner, easily recognized by waiting crowds when they saw a Christmas tree tied to her main mast and her deck loaded with thousands of Christmas trees. Come to the GHS presentation and hear her moving and tragic story
