Sailboats and pleasure craft rest within Chicago's Montrose Harbor shortly after sunrise on the Fourth of July. The American flag flying from the sailboat mast is in honor of Independence Day. In the background is a portion of the city skyline that can be seen from the north side harbor location. Harbors represent a link to the American Revolution and the event in Boston Harbor that set, in motion, actions that lead to American independence.
