Excellent photo OP for your friends and family!

Nice and quiet place. Beautiful view

This is an anchor of the USS Chicago and was donated by the Naval Historical Center of the US Navy. This is at the very end of the pier and is a location of great views. The only way to get here is by walking the length of the pier. Great photo opportunity or to climb on. The Bob Newhart statue is. nearby.

Very nice to have it back in Chicago.

I haven't been to Navy Pier in 25 years. I don't really remember it very well. It's is a nice place to walk. There are a number of bars and restaurants.

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.

Beautiful spot. Definitely a good place to come visit on

The USS Chicago Anchor is located at the end of Navy Pier. Beautiful view of the lighthouses in Lake Michigan. Gorgeous view of the city.

Neat end point to the pier. Check it out!

Great place to have a panoramic view of the pier with Lake Michigan backdrop!! Lots of benches to sit around and enjoy the view! Can get very windy. Must visit on the Navy Pier.

A must see location if you've never been to Navy Pier. We ended our day of adventuring at the Chicago Anchor, after taking a ride on an actual sail boat that docks at the pier, and eating at Harry Caray's.

The size of the USS Chicago Anchor was awe inspiring! Love how this pic turned out♡

The best place and great customer service.

Great place to walk and see the city scape
