U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was expected to be on hand as Chicago’s “Christmas Tree Ship” made a special holiday delivery on Saturday morning at Navy Pier.
The ship, the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw, arrived earlier this week with 1,200 healthy, fresh Christmas trees to help make the holidays a little brighter. The trees were expected to be offloaded at 8:30 a.m. during a festival that included holiday music and even offered tours of the ice cutter.
The annual event was made possible by the Chicago Christmas Ship Committee, which started in 2000. Each year since, a group of mariners from different industries have gotten together to deliver holiday cheer to families who might not otherwise have a tree.
While Saturday is the main event, that’s not all the ship planned.
On Friday, the vessel, which was lit up in festive lights, delivered a free holiday show to people who live in buildings nearby.
