Bay View’s First Christmas Tree Ship! Three Bay View Lake Captains Survived its Sinking!

Welcome to our Bay View: Town of Lake CAPTAINS! channel, where we present episodes about the 71 lake captains that once lived in Bay View, Wisconsin, between 1878 and 1968 in the age of sail and steam on the Great Lakes. Among items discussed are their ships (sail and steam), their homes (including old house restorations), and their families, and their lifetime of sailing adventures (sea stories) on the Great Lakes. In this episode, we will be providing the true story of the sinking of Bay View’s first Christmas tree ship, the three-masted schooner Vermont. It sank with three Bay View lake captains aboard in late November 1900 – exactly 125 years ago this month - in Big Bay De Noc on the south side of Michigan’s upper peninsula. They all survived. The circumstances of the ship’s sinking are not known, so what follows is our best guess based on an analysis of the information discovered. In addition, in order to best tell the story, fictitious conversations are also provided. Neither of these pieces of conjecture affect the overall factualness of the story, taken from the book, “Bay View: Town of Lake CAPTAINS!” All three of these captains have already had their own dedicated episode published on this YouTube channel and the links to each of these is provided in the description box of this video. We hope you enjoy this episode and if you want to learn more about Bay View's lake captains, including 60 pages of sources for this and the other episodes, visit our website at www.historicbayviewlakecaptainssociety.com or purchase our 650-page book, "Bay View: Town of Lake CAPTAINS!" as well as our 550-page book, “A Brother Helps His Sister: the True Story of William A.
