Wondering what's up with that huge ship looming in the distance on Lake Michigan?
The Tribune tracked down an answer. It turns out 400 Germans are making a grand trek around the Great Lakes on a six-story ship named the MS Hamburg. It set sail in Montreal Sept. 7 for a 16-day journey that will include stops in Toronto, Windsor, Mackinac Island, Traverse City and Milwaukee.
The Hamburg arrived in Chicago this morning around 7 a.m. so passengers could take a brief excursion into the city that includes a tour of the Willis Tower Skydeck. The ship, which measures 472 feet by 70 feet, was quite a sight, even at a distance:
