Winter on Sturgeon Bay
Here's a gorgeous time-lapse exploration of winter on Sturgeon Bay near Cross Village Michigan. Jay Burlage of Milapse writes that it's a great place to get away from it all and enjoy a cold snowy place for a bit. Here's hoping this will give you a little dose of wintry pleasure!

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.

Seeking Michigan: The Wreck of the Carl D. Bradley
This story of the sinking of the Carl Bradley on November 18, 1958 is one of the greatest of Great Lakes shipping tragedies, devastating Rogers City, the ship's home port. It also includes the trailer from November Requiem, a documentary on the Bradley.
