For a special holiday presentation of The Christmas Tree Ship by Author Rochelle Pennington.

All aboard the Christmas Tree Ship! Author Rochelle Pennington has written two books detailing one of the most well-known shipwrecks of the Great Lakes, Lake Michigan's Christmas Tree Ship, which delivered holiday evergreens to the citizens of Chicago each Christmas season before it went to the bottom of the lake fully loaded with trees.

Rochelle Pennington brings several artifacts along with her to share with the audience, including an axe used to chop trees down, dishes, a medicine bottle, a spittoon, a clay pipe, an ornament carved from one of the first Christmas trees raised from the ship in 1971 when the vessel was discovered, and an actual Christmas tree from the cargo. Underwater photos of the ship with its trees still visible in the cargo area are included with the program as well.

This special holiday presentation is sure to be loved by kids and adults of all ages. The event is free to the public and will be held in the Woodland Room at The Ingleside Hotel.
