Christmas Tree Ship II - 4

Armed with a digital camcorder and a digital camera, we found a window at the end of a hallway on our floor, peered out, and what, to our surprise, did we see? Yes, we saw, in the dark, what appeared to be a U.S. Coast Guard ship, docked securely at Navy Pier.  Could this be the Christmas Tree Ship we wondered?  We took pictures of the night lights and cityscapes and some of this mysterious ship too.

According to the news story, as we remembered it, the trees were to be dispensed to pre-selected recipients on Saturday. We wondered if this "Christmas Tree Ship" would still be at Navy Pier on Sunday, after we checked out of hotel.  We wondered and hoped, and... of course, went on the web and did some research about this "Christmas Tree Ship" story.  I'll tell you what I discovered in a few pages, but 1st, back to my story.
