From the book flap:
Captain Herman Schuenemann became affectionately known as "Captain Santa" for his yearly voyage from Michigan's Upper Peninsula to
Chicago with a load of freshly-cut Christmas trees. Families would wait
anxiously at the docks for their choice of the best trees. Today, the memory of
Captain Santa lives on and his legacy is as popular as ever.

Ship, will sail into your heart and remain moored in your memory forever."

"The Christmas Tree Ship is a story you will come to love and

century already."
