Thank you for this upload. My Grandparents were immigrants from Sweden who bought their first Christmas Tree from The Rouse Simmons, the year before she went down. They told us kids about meeting The Captain & Crew, how the trees smelled so wonderful, and how sad they felt when they heard she was lost. I hope your Christmas was a happy one, and again, thank you for your detailed uploads.
I live in Two Rivers. This is a story that’s retold on a near constant basis as soon as November starts. Also, the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc has a fishing trawler carrying Santa bring in trees every year to commemorate the Simmons
As someone who grew up hearing stories about the Christmas Tree ship, having been raised near Two Rivers, I’m happy that the story of the Rouse Simmons is still being told.
Although tragic by nature since losing any ship is a great loss. I'm glad that the US Coast Guard cutter is carrying on the tradition. May you all have had a safe and wonderful Christmas season.
The story of the Christmas Tree Ship is probably one of the most touching stories. I have traveled near where the ship now rests and was able to learn about the story which has had me hooked ever since.
I feel like I remember hearing about the coast guard delivering trees in my youth but never knew about the ship that did it before! What a lovely story, and as always well-researched and edited! Thank you for all your hard work and I hope your holidays proceed accordingly!
This channel is a more recent one I've found and since I'm binged a so many of your vids. Love what you're doing here, can't wait to tag along for the long haul 🍻
I watch a ton of stuff like this on yt... Fascinating Horror, MrBallen and now you over these past few days binge watching your channel...Im really enjoying your content!
Another awesome story….this time hitting home a bit. I was stationed on MACKINAW from 12-15 and did Christmas Tree Ship three years. We could never get all of the needles from the trees cleaned up!
There's actually been two coast guard ships with the name Mackinaw that have done the christmas ship run. The first USCGC Mackinaw ran from 1944 until 2006 and did it for for the first few years. Then when the old Mackinaw was retired the new mackinaw launched the same day and continued the tradition
The first Mackinaw is actually stationed in Mackinaw City as a museum ship of sorts. You can go in and look around and see how she operated. There's little signs and videos giving facts and statistics about her career (like the fact that apparently she was the ship used in the Fitz' memorial and wreath ceremony). If you're ever in the area I highly recommend going, it was really interesting. But remember to wear closed toed shoes, you'll be climbing up and down a lot of narrow ladders.
What a beautiful yet sad story. I am so grateful for your videos. Your research is astounding. I felt like I was on the ⚓🚢 ship. I was engrossed in the story and was oblivious to anything around me. I love every video and I can't wait for the next one every time. This is one of the best channels ever. Thank you. You tell the story in a brilliant way. Just WOW. 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜
I was genuinely looking forward to a video from you. You are a fantastic story teller and you seem like a genuinely amazing person. Keep up the good work and congratulations on a job well done!
I knew I’d not have time to watch this with it being Christmas but set a reminder on my phone for tonight! So now I’m snuggled in bed watching, thanks! Happy Holidays everyone. :)
Hi there mate, your channel is excellent. Always enjoy. Loved storries about the RAN in particular but that's just because I'm an Aussie. Every single story is great, good on you, man.
I’ve watched and enjoyed 2 of your productions now and cheers to you. These are very watchable and educational. For a Kansas man here the stories of these brave souls who navigate the open waters of this world are nothing short of incredible. My heart goes out to all family who’ve lost someone/s over the course of time. Keep up the great work and I wish you all a very Happy New Year. Good day to you all.
Never knew of this, good thing the coast guard revived the tradition not too long ago. Speaking of the coast guard, maybe look at the sinking of the Alaskan monarch of 1990 in the Bering sea. Very famous rescue in coast guard history involving the cutter: storis, on the front lines. I was gonna suggest the 2007 sinking of the cruise ship: explorer, in the Antarctic, but maybe the original hms endurance of 1915 may suffice. Good luck out there and merry Christmas.
I love this history! My 4x great grandparents ran the lumber camp and started the town in "the cove" Alcona, MI. Didn't realize this was a big deal until I was looking up my 3x great grandpa's grave and the lady who keeps the records got really excited when she found out who I was related to. My 3x great grandpa, who married into the lumber family, had lost his leg in a train accident in the camp, opened a saloon, and became county treasurer. Having a lot of sailors and lumbermen in my family history makes stories like this really cool to hear. Thanks for telling them!
These stories you tell are legendary there's many many many ships and pleasure craft out there that need you to tell their story so thank you and please keep up the good work
I still remember when I helped with the Christmas tree ship, when I lived with my parents. That year the Mac was having issues so CGC Alder. It was great watching her come in to navy pier. ATON cutters are amazing vessels. BZ on the video love these.
Keep up the good videos coming! Here, have my sub :) I really like that you are putting a spotlight also on the smaller and lesser known tragedies. They also need their stories told for them to not be forgotten.
I've found this video a bit late, but I really like it all the same. Sailing is work that seems to have quite the potential for danger. It's things like this that make me admire, all the more, the work of the often unheralded U.S.C.G. Thanks for your service, for that of your counterparts, and for the service of sailors the world over, who brave tempest and toil to keep our giant society fed, watered, and safe.
Excellent video, but there is one mistake. The Rouse Simmons was found by scuba divers in 1971 not 2006. I remember seeing a documentary on it as a kid in the 1970's. I was fascinated when they brought up a light bulb from the wreck and applied power to it and it still worked after 60 some years under water! That started my interest in Great Lakes maritime history. Thanks for making it!
I was feeling warmth in my heart from this story…. until about halfway through the third minute when I remembered what channel I’m watching this video on… 😢
SS Cap Arcona, please, I beg of you, give it the coverage it desperately deserves, its rich history and its fate as the last great tragedy of North Atlantic theatre, and the greatest maritime disaster of the 20th century, to rival and surpass the Titanic itself
All I can think is that a significant number of captains thought late November was a great time to sail up to the UP for Christmas trees. A little frightening given how many sinkings and loss of life on the GLs happen, well, in November.
As a sailor (as in I sail sailboats) I can easily believe her facing into the wind when she sank, in the world of sailing we experience what is known as "weather helm" where the vessel wants to point bow-first into the wind due to a weather vane effect on the sails and hull and the rudder must be used to compensate. This is especially true with fore-and-aft rigged vessels like the lake schooners of the time as well as modern sailboats, what I believe happened is that when the crew tried to anchor they abandoned the helm thus weather helm took over causing the vessel to point windward.
Exactly! Thank you! I was wondering too why would he say that this was odd. Weather helm is an elegant expression. In German we call it ships being "luv greedy" 😂

Any chance you could cover the USS Canopus (AS-9) 1942. My great uncle was a GM3 aboard, survived the Bataan death march and slavery in Osaka, Japan for Mitsubishi. 143 of his shipmates were burned alive in a ditch, it's a terrible story. I was stationed in Sturgeon Bay and Washington Island, WI with the USCG.
What a poignant story, but nice to see the Coast Guard renewing the tradition. I take it the Xmas tree on the bow @ 6:14 was brought down by divers as a memorial of sorts? Thanks for another great video, have a great festive season! 🎄

Ship Geek just posted a video on the Daniel J. Morrell. I hope to see you do a video on that Great Lakes ship just like you did Edmund Fitzgerald and Carl Bradley.
That was awesome as usual! I might be biased because I’m the narrator’s mom! Merry Christmas and you’re an amazing son!
That’s sweet!
That is sweet!
I’ve just subbed! You should be proud, it’s a well presented and factual channel! 👌

@@TheSoonToBePurgedJackMeHoff55 I got in one lil fight and my mom got scared-
I was raised in Sheboygan, never heard of it, moved to Two Rivers and learned about it. Much more maritime history a few miles north.

Dang this is more of a 'Feel Good' story than Horror. It proves there is still some good in this world.
Still? This story took place 100yrs ago.
The story of the Christmas Tree Ship is probably one of the most touching stories. I have traveled near where the ship now rests and was able to learn about the story which has had me hooked ever since.
A ship sinks carrying Christmas trees? That’s about as festive a maritime horror story as I’ve ever heard 👌
I feel like I remember hearing about the coast guard delivering trees in my youth but never knew about the ship that did it before! What a lovely story, and as always well-researched and edited! Thank you for all your hard work and I hope your holidays proceed accordingly!
Lovely? They all died horribly.
I really love this channel. Not only are you a good story teller, but you have a great voice too.
The communities coming together every year to deliver the trees warms my heart merry Christmas everyone

Lol I think there has always been a Mack in the CG in almost all these great lakes stories there is a mighty Mac mentioned
@@nikotnikuf Since 1944 yeah. The new Mackinaw launched the same day the old one retired. She's kind of the Enterprise of the great lakes CG fleet
What a beautiful yet sad story. I am so grateful for your videos. Your research is astounding.

Hi there mate, your channel is excellent. Always enjoy. Loved storries about the RAN in particular but that's just because I'm an Aussie. Every single story is great, good on you, man.
A framed print showing the "Christmas Tree Ship" on her last voyage is hung on the wall next to my Christmas tree around this time of year.
That’s a nice way to remember her, and her crew.

Love your videos benefan for a long time you're gonna make it to a million scribers
truly a shame this man had to pass. homie seemed so kind and the fact he charished the captain santa name is ao wholsome, a tragedy
Nothing like a bit of tragedy to get into the Christmas spirit. Hope your having a merry Christmas.
