This
is
the
8
Ton
huge
anchor
installed
at
the
far
end
of
Navy
Pier.
This
anchor
is
from
USS
Chicago
ship,
which
was
the
third
ship
which
bear
the
name
of
Chicago.
This
anchor
stands
as
the
monument
for
those
who
served
in
Navy
and
USS
Chicago.
The
anchor
is
from
the
heavy
cruiser
ship
of
1945
and
later
converted
into
guided
missile
cruiser.
This
USS
Chicago
ship
had
seen
action
in
World
War
II,
Korean
and
Vietnam
War.
The
ship
was
dismantled
in
1984.
Interestingly,
the
sailors
who
served
aboard
the
same
USS
Chicago
ship
came
to
Navy
Pier
in
2012
and
restored
the
anchor
to
its
original
color.
This
is
one
of
the
lakefront
treasures
of
Navy
Pier
and
Chicago.
The
end
of
the
Navy
Pier
offers
uninterrupted
views
of
Lake
Michigan
with
this
huge
anchor.
We
took
many
pictures
here
with
the
anchor.
Since,
this
is
at
the
end
of
the
Navy
Pier,
you
have
to
walk
all
the
way
to
the
end
to
enjoy
the
panoramic
views.
