Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter - Christmas Tree Ship’s wheel restored: "The Christmas Tree ship was known from the top of Lake Michigan, where lumberjacks harvested thousands of Christmas trees to ship, to Chicago. The ship’s captain, Herman Schuenemann, was known as a very enigmatic man, which helped to foster the notoriety of the ship that brought thousands of Christmas trees to the Lakeshore region, Zipperer said.
A Christmas tree was tied to the mast of the ship, and the hold is still full of trees, divers have reported."
