The Rouse Simmons, a three -masted schooner launched in 1868 at Kenosha , Wis. , carried lumber cargoes each season for 42 years .
In 1910 , the ship was purchased by Capt. Herman Schuenemann , who continued using the vessel in the lumber trade, but he and his crew cut and packed evergreen trees from the ship’s holds and onto her deck for that last trip of the year to take advantage of the growing Christmas tree market.
On Nov. 23, 1912 , the overloaded Rouse Simmons foundered in a fierce blizzard off Kewaunee , Wis. All 16 people on board perished, but no bodies were ever found.
