Jamal Malone, CEO of Ada S. McKinley Community Services, addresses the crowd 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-tending run of Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw (WLBB 30) on Lake Michigan, brings 1,200 trees from northern Michigan 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.
