Paul BerkaFlotilla Commander
Commanders Corner On 9 November, Bob Mathewes, a member of the Flotilla for twenty years, and
on 10 November, Richard McLaren, a member of the Flotilla for twenty-four years, passed away. The Flotilla will miss both of these members, and will be forever grateful to them for their contributions to the Flotilla. Their families are in our thoughts and prayers.
As we come to the end of the year, please check to make sure you have fulfilled the necessary requirements to maintain your qualifications for Instructor hours, Vessel Exams, RBS visits, Boat Crew and Coxswain. This way, you can avoid going into REYR status.
2015 Dues: At this time, all active members dues for 2015 have been paid. Margaret LaRiviere, Connor Rosenbaum and Stephen Bowden, all from the Citadel Detachment, have been dis-enrolled from the Flotilla. John Smoak has also been dis-enrolled from the Flotilla.
Up-coming Flotilla area events: The Flotilla Change of Watch will be held on 13 December at the St. John’s Yacht Harbor on Johns Island. The cost per person is $15.00, and the food served will be a pork roast buffet. If you plan to attend, please sign up when the flash comes out.

As my last article as your Vice Flotilla Commander, I would like to express how much I’ve enjoyed serving the Flotilla in this capacity. I’d also like to congratulate Richard Daniel and William Carter, and wish them all the best as we move into the New Year. Each year, I plan on things that I hope to accomplish by the years end, but in retirement I need to focus on each day as
there are so many distractions that take you off course.
If you are new to the Auxiliary, you have an extended deadline in which to complete your mandated training. This deadline is December of 2015. For those who have been in the Auxiliary longer, you have until 2016. The Web training is an excellent tool, and I would recommend that you try it out.
2014 has been quite a productive year for us. We have members who have met the qualifications for Boat Crew, new members to the Flotilla, members who have obtained additional qualifications such as Instructor and Interpreter; and we have accumulated more than 8,000 hours in AUXDATA.
The year seems to have gone by quickly, and I’d like to congratulate everyone on such great work. Your dedication to the Auxiliary is what makes our Flotilla such a great organization.
Make sure to mark your calendars for the upcoming Change of Watch. A flash has been sent to the membership so you can RSVP online. Hope to see everyone there.
Auxiliary Training, AUXLMS

Information SystemsWilliam Carter, FSO-IS
I’m very proud of the members of 12-8 for their performance in 2014.
Our Flotilla has accumulated more than 8,500 hours in AUXDATA. It is
likely that this number will be closer to 10,000 once all paperwork is submitted. Please remember to double-check your calendars and paperwork. Even if you have hours from January that have not been turned in, please get them to me so I can put them into AUXDATA. Please see the link below for updated information from AUXDATA.

Communication SystemsWilliam Carter, FSO-CS
This will be my last article as FSO-CS. Starting in January 2015, Wolfgang Sanyer will be taking over the website. Upon being elected Vice Flotilla Commander, I recommended Wolfgang for the position. Wolfgang has experience in computers, and I believe he will be a great addition as a Flotilla Staff Officer. For the first few months, I will be working with him to make sure the transition goes smoothly.
Member TrainingNever Stop LearningRichard Daniel, FSO-MT
We close out Member Training with a successful 2014. You have completed required workshops,
attended many classes and took part
in a very active Boat Crew Training program. Many of you are now successfully certified as Boat Crew. I will remain on Division Staff as SO-MT for 2015. Duncan Hutchinson will be the FSO-MT (Member Training) officer for 2015. I ask you get involved with all the Member Training offerings that Duncan presents. Meanwhile, I thank all of you for your support and involvement in 2015.
Vessel ExaminationsAlan Miles, FSO-VE
Seasons Greetings Members!
As the final few days of the year pass by, I'd like to say thank you to all the members that supported the Vessel Examination Program this year. With your help, we helped fellow boaters and assisted the Coast Guard with it's Public Boating Safety Program. Each vessel we inspected, whether that vessel passed or failed, left an impression on the owner that safe boating is important and saved lives.
This is my final FSO-VE article of the year. As of this date, I do not know who my replacement will be, but rest assured that I will continue to inspect vessels wherever there is a need. I have been offered a position by the Operations Director at the National Level that I have been working toward for the past four years. I cannot announce it until the Auxiliary-wide announcement is released by the Commodore. This should be released by the time thus article is published.
For now, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Holiday Season.
STAFF OFFICER REPORTS

Bob Mathewes
Bob Mathewes was a strong advocate of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, and he dedicated his life to the service of his country and to his community. A close friend of his, Bob Orenstein, recently shared a very interesting story.
“I think back to when I first met him about fifteen years ago. It was a memorable meeting, me a Yankee
and him a true Southerner and Charlestonian. He and I discovered a very interesting fact several years ago. Both of us had shipped out on an old Kaiser Troop
ship bound for Germany. Of course, I never knew him at the time, but it turned out that we both suffered on that old tub with broken down heads, dreadful food and rough seas since it was February on the North
Atlantic, and the boat was extremely slow and wallowed along.”
-Bob Orenstein
During his many years with the Auxiliary, Bob Mathewes achieved many awards and certifications. He was an Instructor, Vessel Safety Examiner, worked with the Regional Exam Center and the Marine Environmental Safety area. Bob was also qualified in
Information Systems, and, over the years, served in multiple Flotilla Staff Officer positions.
Richard McLaren
Some sad news for you and your fellow shipmates. Richard McLaren, long time member of Flotilla 12-8 and aviator, has passed away. Services were held in Beaufort at the National Cemetery.
Richard McLaren had been a member of Flotilla 12-8 for over twenty years. In addition to the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Richard was an aviator and flight instructor who, in 2013, was recognized by the FAA in their prestigious Airmen Certification Database, for exceeding the educational, licensing and medical standards of the FAA.
IN MEMORY OF THOSE WE HAVE LOSTNovember was a sad month for our Flotilla, as we have bid a farewell to two of our
shipmates. Robert “Bob” Mathewes and Richard McLaren have both passed away. They will be greatly missed, and we will be forever grateful to them for their contributions to
the Auxiliary. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families in this time of loss.

The Rouse Simmons was a three-masted schooner famous for having sunk in a violent storm on Lake Michigan in 1912. The ship was bound for Chicago with a cargo of Christmas trees when it foundered off the coast of Two Rivers, Wisconsin, killing all on board. The legacy of the schooner lives on in the area, with frequent ghost sightings and tourist attractions whereby its final route is traced. It was known as "The Christmas Tree Ship" and was one of many schooners to transport Christmas trees across the lake.
The Schuenemann brothers, Herman and August,
had been trading Christmas trees in Chicago since around the start of the 20th century. While many rival traders had sold to wholesalers and local grocers, Schuenemann sold directly to Chicago residents at dockside by Clark Street Bridge. By cutting out the middleman in this way the trees could be sold cheaply while still making a profit. The venture used the slogan "Christmas Tree Ship: My Prices are the Lowest", with electric Christmas lights and a tree atop the mainmast. The trees were sold for between fifty-cents and one-Dollar, but Herman Schuenemann, affectionately known as "Captain Santa", also gave away some of the trees to needy families.
At the time of her final voyage, the Rouse Simmons was loaded with 5,500 trees and was scheduled to make the week long journey to Chicago. The difficult weather had discouraged competitors
from making their own journeys, and Schuenemann hoped that the resultant shortage of Christmas trees would lead to a huge profit and solve his financial problems.
Local legends say that some sailors refused to board the ship and that the vessel was unseaworthy. Despite this, the journey began at noon, with trees crammed into every possible corner of the ship. The weight of the trees was far above recommendations, especially in the bad winter weather, and was certainly going to contribute to the tragedy. During the night, with storms hitting the Simmons hard, two sailors were sent to check the lashings on deck. Both seamen were swept overboard by a giant wave that collected them, many bundled trees, and a small boat. Now that the schooner was slightly lighter and more maneuverable Captain Schuenemann directed it towards Bailey's Harbor. Suddenly, and tragically, the storms worsened; ice formed on the sodden trees and winds battered the hull.
When the Kewaunee Life Saving Station spotted the
Rouse Simmons on 23 November 1912 it was low in the water with tattered sails, and flying its flag at half mast to signal that it was in distress. Logs from the station show that a Surfman spotted the Simmons at 14:50 and alerted station keeper Nelson Craite. Craite found that the station's gas tugboat had left earlier in the day and, at 15:10, Craite telephoned the nearest other Station. George E. Sogge of
THE COAST GUARD CHRISTMAS SHIPEvery December the US Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw, which is home-ported in
Cheboygan, Michigan, delivers more than 1,300 Christmas trees to needy families throughout the Chicago area. Known as the Christmas Ship, this is based on a tradition dating back to the 1800s on the schooner Rouse Simmons.

Two Rivers, located just south of Kewaunee, sent out the power boat Tuscarora on a rescue mission, but the Simmons was not seen again. A message in a bottle from the Rouse Simmons later washed onto the shore at Sheboygan. It had been corked using a small piece of cut pine tree and, other than the occasional trees caught in fishing nets, was the only remains of the vessel discovered for many years. The message read:
“Friday ... everybody goodbye. I guess we are all through. During the night the small boat washed
overboard. Leaking bad. Invald and Steve lost too. God help us.”
It was not until 1971 that the wreck was
discovered. Gordon Bellrichard, a scuba diver from Milwaukee. Bellrichard was searching for the Vernon, a 177-foot, 700-ton steamer that had sunk in a storm in October 1887, and had been told about an area in which local fishermen had frequently snagged their nets. When his sonar appeared to have located something he dived down to a shipwreck on the bed of the lake 172 feet below. Bellrichard managed to survey the wreckage with his hands and concluded that he had instead found the Simmons.
A forensic study of the wreck suggested that the ship had steerage and was sailing for shelter when it sank. The mizzen mast snapped off above the deck and the upper portion was not located. The main mast was found forward and to the port side of the wreck with the base missing. The foremast is intact and lies nearly parallel but on top of the main mast suggesting at least one of these masts fell out of the mast step as the ship
went down. Many of the trees are still in the ship's hold, though two were extracted and shown as exhibits. Several items recovered from the Rouse Simmons are now housed in Rogers Street Fishing Village Museum in Two Rivers, including the ship's wheel. The ship's anchor was retrieved and now stands at the entrance to the Milwaukee Yacht Club. The remains of the wreck are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This tradition continues today with the US Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw and her crew performing the role of Christmas Ship. Every December, more than 1,300 Christmas trees are brought in from Michigan and then distributed to families unable to afford a Christmas tree. They are distributed throughout the Chicago area, bringing Christmas spirit and joy to those in need.
