The Rouse Simmons and the Great Lakes Christmas Tree Ships
Learn about the Schuenemann family, the wreck of the Rouse Simmons and the annual tradition of the Christmas Tree Ships that carried Christmas trees to Chicago from Michigan. Includes a fantastic video of diving the wreck of the Rouse Simmons.

The Ford Rotunda and the Christmas Fantasy
The Rotunda was commissioned by Ford and designed by legendary Detroit architect Albert Kahn for the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair. After the fair closed, Ford had the Rotunda disassembled and moved to Dearborn, where it became one of the leading tourist attractions in the nation. A highlight was the annual Christmas Fantasy held during the Holiday season.

The Christmas Tree Ships
The Rouse Simmons was the most famous of the ships that carried Christmas trees to Chicago from Michigan's woods. Read about the Captain Schuenemann, and how his legacy was carried on by his daughter and granddaughters after the Simmons sank in sank in 1912. There's even a video from a dive on the wreck of the Simmons.
