Crewmembers load more than 1,200 Christmas trees onto the Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw, Nov. 25, 2013. The Mackinaw, serving as this year's Christmas Ship, will help re-enact a tradition dating back to the late 1800s and early 1900s when the Rouse Simmons delivered trees to the people of Chicago for more than 30 years.
