Santa Claus helps oversee unloading of more than 1,200 Christmas trees from the fantail of Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw (WLBB 30) at Chicago's Navy Pier Dec. 3, 2022. The 23rd annual Chicago's Christmas Ship event, performed as part of the ship's annual buoy-tending duties, brings trees to struggling families in Chicago and commemorates the loss of the original Christmas Ship, the schooner Rouse Simmons, in a Lake Michigan gale in November of 1912.
