Affectionately dubbed the "Christmas Tree Ship," this was an annual trek for the Rouse Simmons. With its cargo of Christmas trees, the ship was bound for Chicago. There Captain Herman Scheunemann would sell the trees for 50 cents or $1.00 and even gave many away to needy families. But the schooner never makes its destination. The Rouse Simmons, with all hands and cargo, disappears into the cold waters. The ship's wreckage is not found until 1971. Drawing from stories told by her grandfather, author Carol Crane weaves a fictional tale based on the true events of the doomed schooner. And she explains how the captain's widow went on to continue his tradition of delivering holiday trees to Chicago.

Download or read book Captain Bob written by Robert H. Stockel and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-03-03 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Review Our author Robert Stockel takes the reader on a humorous and exciting journey on his boat the Dulcinea. With many ups and downs described about his life and his sailing career, the reader gets enveloped in the excitement and can sit back, take part each event described and fortunately, not get seasick, which I do on all types of boats, water rides or rowboats. The author’s description of how he and his first mate Rita, weathered their first journey, to going in the wrong direction and winding up in Puerto Rico and not St. Thomas, our illustrious Captain lets us know who is in charge and that “The Captain is always right,” keeps on course and sometimes might even make a mistake, but not want to admit it. Deciding on anchoring and remaining in St. Thomas he finds his niche and gets hired as a salesman then manager of Anchor Marine, a company that sold nautical products and more. After a while he becomes quite enterprising and joins in a three-way partnership in a half-day or daily cruising business called Windsong Cruises. . My sister loves to cruise and she adores yachts, fishing and boating. She would love to read about your experiences and more before going on a two week cruise in May. As the author described his experiences during Hurricane Hugo and the terrible devastation that occurred I could not help but empathize with Donna and how afraid she felt during that entire experience. Unfortunately, it was not the Captain’s fault that this happened, and not his fault that she left either. It is not hard to understand how she felt and she did not to experience this anymore. The wedding pictures, their courtship and their life together seemed picture perfect like a perfect couple on a permanent honeymoon that would never end. Maybe, someday you will reconnect. You truly do belong together. I really loved the jokes you told and your adventures during your trips. In Hugo’s aftermath everything changed for many people. A trial lawyer, Assistant Attorney General, salesman, manager, husband, sailor and more, Robert Stockel’s story is one that everyone should read and learn from. Good hearted, good natured and quite stubborn when running his ship and training his crew, he weaves an exciting story that brings the reader along for a very bumpy and choppy ride. After traveling to Norfolk and arriving at Annapolis he decided to resume his life as a government attorney for the General Litigation Division D.C. Corporation Counsel’s office. But, his real passion of sailing still burned within him and despite the mistakes, mishaps, disasters and narrow encounters with death, he felt a and still feels a pull sailing and the sea. Surviving a hurricane, strong storms, unsettling seas, navigational mistakes, wrong turns and rocky relationships, Robert Stockel has never lost focus with what really matters to him nor his strong sense of pride and humor. Women are not the easiest to get along with and many of us do not like sharing our special man with anyone. Some are jealous, some hide their feelings and others let it all out in rage and anger. Some just give up and leave without ever looking back. But, the one woman in his life, his Dulcinea has always been true to him throughout it all, maybe showing her green streak of envy at times, but you will have to read that for yourself. This is a great book to read and learn about the beauty of the seas, freedom of sailing on the ocean and the wonderful friendships you can make. I never give stars when I rate a book that I truly feel is noteworthy.

Book excerpt: On January 4, 1914, the Karluk was stuck in ice when the ominous sound of the ship's stern being ripped open by pack ice was heard by all on board. It sounded like the firing of a cannon. Bartlett immediately ordered supplies be unloaded on the ice. The Karluk began to break up on January 10, and all on board were ordered to abandon ship. When everyone was safely on the ice, the captain himself went back to his cabin and, all alone, put Chopin's Funeral March on his Victrola. As the water rose in the cabin, he whispered "Goodbye," left the sinking vessel to the mournful sound of Chopin's music and hurried out on the ice. It was to be the beginning of one of the greatest feats of valour in world history. From the foreword by Paul O'Neill

This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why me God? Why not me? I noticed a swelling on my lower left leg on the calf muscle in late December 2009. There was no pain at all, so I dismissed it as a swelling from a hard fall I had taken in my basement about a month earlier. I showed it to Cindy who wanted me to go to the doctor's, but if you haven't noticed I am thick headed and wanted to see if it would just go away..it didn't. The doctor's visit and subsequent MRI in February began the process of identifying just what this thing was. Treatment could only begin after a positive ID. At this point I was not overly concerned. I still believed it to be a hematoma from the fall. It turned out to be much, much more. This is the first entry into a 2-year CaringBridge journal for my husband Bob who was 63 at the time and a very virile and active man. The hematoma turned out to be a rare and aggressive cancer that would take his life just 2 years later. The journal documents the tremendous faith and strength that he received from Christ every step of the way. The journal will carry you through the innermost thoughts of a man who knows that there is a possibility that he will not live through this, but turns to God and sees the joy of life in adversity. I rode the journey with him for 2 years and realized that through Jesus, Bob was able to not only live well but also to die well. His journal will put you front and center on his beautiful journey, something he called an e-ticket ride with Christ. We were all blessed to be a part of his journey and I hope, that after reading this, you will feel blessed too. He took my fear and turned it into wonder The mysteries of the ages will be mine soon. Are you jealous Open our eyes to the reality of the moments we live in.

Download or read book The Socialite and the Sea Captain written by David Hirzel and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arctic explorer Louise Arner Boyd, working in conjunction with the United States Bureau of Standards, embarked June 11, 1941 on a polar research voyage in the legendary schooner Effie M. Morrissey with Captain, owner, and Arctic explorer in his own right, Bob Bartlett commanding. Although the United States was not yet a combatant in the war then raging throughout Europe, by the beginning of 1941 it had become clear that such neutrality would not last much longer, and that when the time came for the U.S. to enter the war, it would be on the side of the Allies.Greenland, a protectorate of Denmark, lost that status when Germany overran the home country. Unprotected, it could provide the Nazis with an operating base in North America. Boyd's long history of leading surveying, scientific, and photographic expeditions to the East coast of Greenland meant that another expedition under her leadership, to the West coast/Baffin Bay side of that island, would arouse little notice. She arranged a charter of the ice schooner Effie M. Morrissey, from departure June 11 through November 3, returning with valuable data, during which she kept a journal of her daily activities on board and her photographic and scientific work ashore. Bartlett and the ship's officers likewise kept a detailed daily log. It provides a marked contrast to Miss Boyd's narrative.Both were passionately interested in polar exploration, so joint venture, in conjunction with a quasi-military purpose seemed imminently prosperous. However, over the three months of the effort, relations between the two soured irrevocably. Each felt an indisputable right to be leader of the expedition. Neither was willing to give ground. The underlying tension reveals itself occasionally in her diary, and in the elaborately worded ship's log held in Special Collections at Bowdoin College Library. Given the differences between their social statuses, they each find much to comment on. The Socialite and the Sea Captain presents these two conflicting narratives side by side, so readers can compare the accounts and determine for themselves the underlying story behind the diaries of these two headstrong leaders.
