The Christmas Tree Ship is the second EP by I Like Trains.

It is an entirely instrumental concept album, based on the storm that sank the Rouse Simmons.

The Rouse Simmons was a schooner that for twenty years delivered Christmas trees to Chicago, until on the night of November 23, 1912 it was lost in a storm on Lake Michigan, with all hands and a full cargo of Christmas trees.

[1] The five track titles relate to different aspects of the story.

Since then, I Like Trains have made the album a one-track EP for download.
