Watch out for that side splash back! The James R Barker Departs Duluth after the storm

- The James R Barker departs Duluth into what is left of the NE wind and waves. She spent her time loading ore at the CN dock, when complete scooted over to the MERC dock to give the Joyce access to the dock. After the wind let up, about 24 hours later, out she comes! The Barker is heading to Ashtabula to deliver the ore.
Boy love the sound of the horn (the first part of it )✌
Similar to the alien ships in the Tom Cruise movie, War of the World.
I'm a 1976 edition too! Love the Barker's horn.
I am absolutely crazy about the Interlake fleet. My fav is the queen but the Barker is no. 2 with her horn. SO CLASSY. Unique, just like she is.
That first horn was very Close Encounters of the Third Kind😲💜🙏
Cool slow mo on that splash!
Barker is awesome! That was great!♥️🚢🌊😄
Always love those dual horns on the Barker........
I agree 💯
What is the purpose of the Dual horn one sounds like a typical ship on the other one sounds like a diesel locomotive
@@acts2211 Possibly it's what was ordered by Interlake for the horns; and the horns on lakers are "massive" compared to a railroad locomotive horn; two trumpets are almost 8 ft long & need a MASSIVE airtank if you were to put them onto a pickup as a novelty. A guy dropped a 4 cylinder Detroit Diesel into a pickup & he put twin turbos onto it & he saw a guy was selling the horns off of the American Fortitude; a retired laker that went overseas for scrapping.
@@acts2211 The deep two-tone horns belong to the ship, the horns that sound like a train locomotive belong to the vertical lift bridge. It's sort of a tradition in Duluth that the ships coming and going give the bridge a horn salute on their way through, and the bridge answers back. Sort of like "Thanks for lifting out of our way!" "You're welcome. Welcome to the port!" (or "Have a safe journey!)" This practice sort of harkens back to the pre-radio days of the ships using whistle signals to request that the bridge lift for them. Of course these days with radar, radio communication, and location transponder signals (AIS) the lifts are arranged well in advance and the use of horns is more of a way to say hi/thank you/you're welcome.
I lived there as a kid, but never got to see the boats that close. That was so cool! Thanks!
How? Hasn't Canal Park always been open?
I'd be seasick before I left the channel. Gotta love that horn!
Baptism by Barker. Wave action in the canal is awesome.
The people that live in Duluth 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Drunks, drunks and more drunks, a few meth dealers and a fuckton of old people who are too stubborn to leave.
Perfect. Great job Paul.
Holy Tidal Wave, Batman!!!
I thought this was Cape Cod it's looks so similar.
Wicked cool and relaxing!
Grew up vacationing in Geneva every summer. Loved going to Ashtabula and watching the ships.
James r Barker was built in my home town
Thanks for sharing another amazing video 😊
Excellent! Great video, choppy waters, safe journeys big ships. Happy New Year to you and yours 👍🇬🇧👍
Thanks for another Great episode!
Magnificent ships. Cool waves. Thanks for sharing.
One of my favorite spots in Duluth
LOL LOL - nothing like a cold wave flying through the air right at you! Happy New Year, Paul. Thanks for all the incredibly good videos! You are NO. 1 among many.
especially in minnesota eh
“The sea was angry that day my friends...like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli”
The “sea” is Lake Superior and it’s not angry, perhaps just annoyed. Angry is really something behold.
And then I looked directly in to the eyes of the great fish ......
Bug Bomb you must be a marine biologist
Jay Minor glad someone got it-my comment was hanging out there like a pretty big matzo ball.
Mark Burkey ......I always wanted to pretend I was an architect but a marine biologist will do even though I don’t know my fish from mammals
This is a rare sight for me -- really cool! Glad I tuned in.
Thanks
Beautiful video Paul! Happy New Years!
Awesome video, keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing.
A Blind Person would KNOW the Barker just from its outstanding HORNS! ☺️
Great video thanks Paul im glad im not aboard that ship I would be sea sick
Wet wet waiit 😀 beauty slow mo 👍 good job !
Now thats a horn. B O.
excellent! your best so far - thanks!
Thank you Jane.
I love Canal Park, all seasons, day or night. Been there numerous times...each time is exciting.
excellent!!
WOW """"❤""""
It's difficult to explain...😐
I really Love this videos🚢
Thank you sooooo much!!⚘
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Wow, that poor person got really splashed. Amazing splash.
So beautiful.....
Love her horn, Paul your work is Amazing
Many thanks!
Thanks !
Been a long time since I fished near that bridge, lived in Proctor and Duluth.
Excellent video!
Hey Captain could you make a quick turnaround I forgot my cellphone in my car........
Love the bridges and boats happy new year to all 🚔
One of your best. How did you not get swept off your feet? I live a few hours from the coast & the news folk always remind us to never turn your back on the sea. How could these folk keep walking with this "wavage" behind them? My heart is still pounding!
Came for the splash stayed for that great horn...
Thanks for stopping by!
the good ol days when your start your turn on a buoy a quarter mile before you hit it... I sailed on the ss meldrum bay for 4 yrs before industry went down hill with foreign registry was a great life and i miss her but ya roll with the punchs
cool colin, what a privilege, always wondered about working on one, where did ya go on ss meldrum
Fascinating to watch at any te, but this is a little special.
Thanks 👍
......just like my bathroom when I use the tub......
My favorite ore boat horn!
LOL!
Beautiful sight!
Epic "slosh" Paul! Cheers.
Thanks Rick!
The Edmond Fitzgerald keeps playing in my head.
And wow some of these waves are half way up the hull and this boat is already 20isf feet below the water line
Great video!
I am always in awe of that canal and loved watching ships go through. I have sometimes wondered if anyone accidentally got swept in by the waves, as there are ladders there to climb out with.
Good question! 54 years ago there was a tragedy with 3 brothers and one Coast Guard rescuer were taken by the waves from the Pier.
Paul,you are great HAPPY NEW YEAR,MASTER VIDEO MAN👍👍👍💪💪
Great video and horn.
Absolutely awesome and that swell is just coming out of the harbour! I had heard that the bridge horn had been replaced for a wimpy one. Read it on a comment somewhere. Have they put the original one back?
Please tell me the lady giving the ship information sits in the little boat on dry land at side of the harbour wall and presses a big red button to give the horn reply.
Hope you had a WETSUIT on. GREAT VIDEO!!!
Proper built ships last the distance being on the great lakes must make them last longer,, than 10 to 15 years old getting put into scrap yard in India and Turkey,, good American steel, ☘️☘️☘️☘️👍👍👍🚢🚢 from Northern Ireland greatly appreciated thank you for the video awesome viewing
Your last couple videos show the water very high in the channel. Is the lake level high right now or is it due to the monster storm front that went thru. I remember being there as a kid in the 70 's with calm water and it would seem that the water usually was about 10' lower on the sea wall
Lake levels are really high. Growing up in Manistee (I'm now 76), I remember high water and low water. You take what Mother Nature gives you.
@@tommcadam9897
I now live in central Illinois, but grew up close to Cloquet and some summer weekend shopping trip to Duluth include a trip to cancel park to watch ships and dip toes in the big girl. Cold as begebies as I remember
@@daboo7725 As a little kid, anytime the water was 60 degrees or better, it was swim time. Not so much any more.
@@tommcadam9897
Aaah. Yes. The physical abilities of youth are long past me as well. At one time I could swim the length if an Olympic size pool on one breath. Can hardly walk across living room on 3 breaths now. Oh but what a life with clean air up north, cool summers and cold winter's.
Not even out of Duluth and the Great Lakes are already scary.
And don't you just LOVE it!
'
beautifully natural water wave wave
Cool horn !
Is there anyone able to tell me of how deep is the Entrance please ? Am Intrigued to know . Does it ever get dredged ???
It is dredged to 33 Feet (10M) they dredge the Harbor and the canals every year.
Paul Scinocca that’s not a lot actually...I thought more!
Incredibly awesome video. The size of it! I noticed in another video you uploaded, a different ship that also blew the horn as it passed under the bridge. Excuse my ignorance, but why is it done? Thanks.
A tradition, to either say hello ore goodbye. It is not required, more for the boat watching fans.
Nicest horn of them all, wow!
2:23 you can watch the concrete shake from the force of the waves 😳
Never seen that. I'm going back to look at it
Hey just a question, why is the water to turbulent? Is this bc the ship is headed to open water? As opposed to in controlled lockes and can al ways? Great video!
They are heading into Lake Superior, open water. The winds are coming from the N.E, making the waves. Up here we call it a "Nor-Easter".
Oh neat! The big boats we have here on Lake Ontario, I have only seen them in the channels so the water is always very calm. It’s crazy to see it this way. Thanks for the info!
@2:30 Metal AF !!!!

Why is the smoke of this ship and the P.Tragurtha white and from the others hardly not. Are there special exhaust filter installed?
Correct, they both have scrubbers on their exhaust.

Oh no I see snow
Hi i am a big fan of your videos,please may i ask you a question,where are the people situated who do the little talk about each ship?
The Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center is the building behind the little tug boat. There is person in there that gives info over the loudspeaker. Also some neat stuff to look at in there as well. The whole Canal Park area is nice.
@@bradnoah9240 Thank you so much for your kind reply.Regards from East Anglia,England:)
Yall KNOW its gonna be a long trip when breaking white in Duluth canal.
Gonna be a rough ride today boys
If I had a choice between a Disney Cruise or a Great Lakes freighter, you can surely guess what I'd pick!...
I have no idea about what this is or where it’s at but I watched it. Are you happy YT recommendations?
Very nice 🙂
It was a little choppy on the lake today.
The James R. Barker has to be also an ocean going motor ship, with its cabins, controls and all of the machinery at the stern end. The freighters that are on the Great Lakes exclusively have quarters in the bow as well as the propulsion machinery in the stern, but can also be 1000 feet or longer as well. All of that weight displaces a lot of water, especially going through locks or entering or leaving a channel, so that is why the waves splash so high, as well as why they had to wait until the wind died down before being able to leave harbor and go out to lake.
actually the laker style is the one with the cabins forward, and the 1000'+ ships stay on the great lakes, they are too big to fit through the locks to get to the ocean, that and the ocean would break them in half due to the length
@@adamt4742 Part of that is true (too long to fit in the locks to leave the Great Lakes). The other part is false as there have been quite a lot of 1000' and longer ocean passenger liners, cruise ships, tankers, and other bulk carriers that enable worldwide shipping of just about everything, so they wouldn't easily break apart crossing the worlds oceans.
@@zachlafleur6651 I must have fallen for the myth on the second one.
but I saw it on the internet, it must be true. LOL
That tide is very high
Brrrr.. that water is cold!
Where do they go
They can build gutters into the sides to prevent splash back like in competition pools. On second thought, I guess that open walkway is a gutter.
It really is, scuppers every 60' as well.
Ivr never heard a horn like !
If you have ever been to Duluth those waves seem ehh. But on a calm day the top of the warf to the water line is prob about 8ft
We have islands in the Florida Keys that shorter than the Barker!!
Now thats funny!
How long does a journey like that usually take?
Roughly 24 hours per lake.
What route would she take?…
Wow, the walkway (and the land beyond it in the camera’s field of view) appears to be below the level of the water. Seems like an awfully thin concrete barrier preventing a whole lot of flooding, especially considering the size and mass of the ships frequently passing by.
Optical illusion, the water on a calm day is about 10' below the walkway, maybe 7' on a day like in this video. They have scupper holes about every 80' to drain rain water, wave water.
....what's for supper, honey?
We were there yesterday 🤩
I hope you enjoyed the Sunday ship traffic!
2:25 that horn!
Nice horn!
She just plows right through lol It’s like she’s saying “Bring it on” lol Great job on filming that wave. How often does that happen?
We get a few good events like this every season, when the vessels start moving again it is well past the big waves. They stay hunkered down in the harbor to wait out the storms.
Just catching up again Paul. I was freeamericausa1. TH-cam did something on July 4, 2021 to eliminate my other handle. If you read this...Great work as usual. PEACE.
They did not like your channel name ? Thanks James
Look at the amount of water that has slipped silently into our oceans...
That was a splash of a video! Lol
In which country is this?
Duluth MN. USA
I think that ship just waved at you...
Drag Racing @ sea,just about the right length__________________________________
( well for 1/8 mile blasts anyway ! 😉 )
Paul, I wouldn't want to get hit that backsplash.
It may be a bit chilly.....
Why is it so choppy in a canal you’d think being protected I’d be smooth.
The waves from the lake are coming into the canal, once in the harbor the ships are protected from the weather's effect.
That's a beast 💪 would love to have the money it is worth.
Stormy day
