James R Barker outbound West Pier with a HUGE

Taken from West Pier in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan this is the James R Barker from the Interlake Steamship Company, outbound headed for Superior, WI
I was with Captain's dear friend "Miss Edna" as she is called... she has known Captain since he was a young boy and has followed his career since he began sailing. She is the reason we hear the #BarkerBark here in Sault Ste Marie and we are all very thankful for that.
Captain Newland comes out to say hi to us (I am friends with him as well) He asks us something which we couldn't make out and then says he'll see us in a couple of days and then off they went.
