Captain George Lisner, left, and Capt. Dave Truitt, both members of Chicago's Christmas Ship Committee, await the blessing of a wreath commemorating lost mariners during the 23rd Annual Christmas Ship ceremony at Chicago's Navy Pier Dec. 3, 2022. The event, which takes place during an annual buoy-tending mission of Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw (WLBB 30), brings more than 1,200 Christmas 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.
