The Michigan Maritime Museum in South Haven will welcome in folk singer and songwriter Lee Murdock for “The Christmas Ship Concert” on Wednesday, December 14. The show will be an hour and start at 6:30 p.m. Murdock will feature songs of Michigan history along with his original tune “The Christmas Ship,” as well as other maritime songs and holiday music. It is part of the museum’s Holiday at the Heritage Center on their newly rebuilt campus on the Black River. Murdock is acknowledged as “the premier interpreter of songs and stories about the Great Lakes.” His “The Christmas Ship” song tells the story of delivering Christmas trees to Chicago and the loss of the Christmas tree ship, Rouse Simmons, in 1912. Tickets are $10 for Michigan Maritime Museum members and $15 for non-members.
