The Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw arrives at Navy Pier in Chicago with more than 1,200 Christmas trees on the fantail, re-enacting a Chicago tradition dating back to the late 1800s, Dec. 1, 2017. The trees, purchased by the Chicago’s Christmas Ship Committee with private donations, will be presented to community organizations for needy families throughout Chicago.
