''The Christmas Tree Ship'' is the second EP by I Like Trains. It was released on 24 November 2008. 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.〔About ''The Christmas Tree Ship'' on I Like Trains' website.
