Christmas Tree Ship Point
52 Schooners transporting Christmas trees to Milwaukee and Chicago passed this point in the 1800's.
Captain Herman Schuenemann of the Christmas Tree Ship, "Rouse Simmons", was born in Algoma.
One of the 52 schooners, "Lady Ellen" is located upriver between the two bridges in its final resting place.
Marker can be reached from the intersection of Steele Street and Lake Street.
