Lumber Schooner ROUSE SIMMONS
The Rouse Simmons was affectionately known as the Christmas Tree Schooner. She was built in 1868. There is not a lot known about the vessel. She was one of a number of schooners that were employed on the Great Lakes to carry stone and lumber from the north woods to the ports in the mid west. The Rose Simmons was in the twilight of her career when she went down off Three Rivers, Wisconsin with a load of Christmas trees bound for Chicago on Christmas Eve. All hands were lost.
