You have to love the boat name! O’Leary is the name of the family which may or may not have owned a cow that may or may not have kicked over a lamp and started the Great Chicago Fire! Did you survive the Great Chicago Flood of 1992? I did!! This is a cool piece of history!!
On April 13, 1992, repair work on a bridge spanning the Chicago River resulted in damage to the wall of an abandoned utility tunnel beneath the river. An estimated 250 million gallons of water flooded basements, buildings, and the Chicago Pedway throughout the Loop.
