Folk singer Lee Murdock performs his song "When Big Mack comes to this harbor" at Chicago's Navy Pier during the 23rd annual Chicago's Christmas Ship ceremony Dec. 3, 2022. The event, which takes place during a regular buoy run by Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw (WLBB 30), 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.
