This is definitely one of my favorite ships, love that front view, and that horn, chills..
Yeah the Barker puts on quite a show!
I also love the Arthur M Anderson.
@@carriehunt9741 yes! I have a hard time deciding, although I enjoy them all, I have 3 or 4 favorites so I always say, one of..😆
A trip to Duluth to watch these mighty ships is definitely in my bucket list!
It's pretty awesome!
Minds also
@@kevinthomas3290 Great 'Mines' think alike! But when I go, I'm also going to cruise up the north shore on 61 all the way to the border station by Grand Marais...That's a ride I was on when kid with my dad...I'd like to do with my wife sometime now.
Have to see the tall ships come in august amazing
Been there, done that.. And been to Halifax and seen rough seas on Superior as well as the Atlantic by Eastern Canada..
That has to be the best horn on the lakes. I wish I had it for my car, I'd blast that thing as much as I could
Agreed. Fabulous horn...
buy an airhorn man! Theyre not expensive! piss off EVERYONE!!
Best horn on the lakes. Wished i could get the horn for our semi. And for a ringtone on my phone
Keep them Raw! Love the sounds of the wind and water, thank you for braving the elements to take us along. Happy & Prosperous New Year to you & yours 👍🇬🇧👍
Happy New Year!!!
@@alaricdogface Time and inclination to make these clips,courtesy from a previous age(individually replies to 500 plus comments)And,I hope,all good luck in all you endeavors.
@@gavinjames8749 It keeps me from sitting in front of the TV! 😁
Something about the perspective of this specific video really brings home just how LONG these ships are!
3 football fields and a hockey rink long!
And wide when you see it head-on! 50m longer than and 4m wider than the titanic!
@@juniorballs6025 Titanic looks tiny compared to the modern cruise ships its funny.
And being at or below the water line too ! It also shows how impressive the sea walls actually are
Simply amazing!
The bow end of that thing is an absolute fortress! Riding the wild surf like a boss ... love that horn!
No worries - 60,000 tons coming through!
Yes
I like the wind and the slap of the waves, the walking down the pier. Thanks for taking us along!
Did your boots fill with water too? 🌊 🌊 🌊
@@alaricdogface Naw, I'm a pretty fast dancer! But that was a big'un, wasn't it, and sneaky!
@@regular-joe I thought my boots would save me but the water went over the top!
Great video and that horn blast was a real treat! Those ore carriers are unique vessels - they must have the highest ratio of open deck to superstructure of any ship!
Interesting ratio, I wonder what it is for the supertankers or the container ships.
Amazing how much water those things displace. I was stationed in Erie, PA and always loved watching those things first suck all the water out of the channel and then flood it as it went by.
If I had 60,000 tons in my belly I'd probably empty the bathtub too. 😁
Watching this video in particular and others of the Great Lakes boats sends me to listen to Gordon Lightfoot and the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, an amazing tribute to a great ship and her crew
Gordon Lightfoot is awesome.
Watching those waves, the song and the Edmund Fitzgerald instantly came to mind.
Great song. I work with my daughter painting homes/listening to music together, and we sail on my Catalina. Brings tears to our eyes every time...."fellas, it's been good to know ya"........Rest In Peace
Its still amazing something this large and heavy can still float on water
Just don't poke a hole in it
@@alaricdogface: Or blow a hatch...
@@ltmundy1164 Clamp 'em!
@@alaricdogface: Hinges and dogs. When it really matters, they can really disappoint you...
@@ltmundy1164 can't stay mad at the dog! 🐶🐶🐶
Thank you for sharing this video.
Beautiful ship.
Happy new year.
Happy New Year!!!
What's funny is, I moved away from the area in 99...I can see these videos and still clearly remember the smells of the area. It's like, yeah, I can remember the chill of the air of days like this...but the smells are something on a deeper level.
It's always interesting when the normal smells of the canal are overwhelmed by the smell of diesel exhaust from the boat
I'm 51 , from Ga, never been a sailor, never been north of nashville: Why I am now obssesed with Big GL ships!!!
Because they're pretty cool!
@@alaricdogface I can go with that!!! Thanks for the Vids!!!
@@jpb1231000 😁
Thanks for sharing beautiful video , Happy new year sir to you and yours family,
Happy New Year to you and yours!
CLASSIC, that's one LONG boat. At least you had some nice weather.........
(my mother and two sisters were born/raised in Duluth).
From childhood, on we would visit from Milwaukee, Wi. fairly frequently.
LOVE Duluth!
Luckily temps were in the 30s for a couple days or there would have been ice chunks coming over the wall too!
Magnifique !!! j'adore le deux tons de ce navire et cet endroit si vivifiant !
Happy new year !
Bonne année!
AWESOME !! My first video of the day and I wake up to that behemoth . Wow ! Great video.
Good morning! (belated)
The ship's bow was in open water while the Captain was still in the canal. Amazing ships! Hope to visit the Welland Canal this Fall. Great vids!
The Welland Canal would be an awesome trip!
I’m from near Lorain OH where this great ship was built. The ship yard is long gone but I remember it as a kid. I remember these freighters used to run up and down the black river delivering iron ore to the US Steel plant also, before it too met its ultimate demise. So sad not to see these freighters on the black river anymore.
Awesome sounding horn
i'm guessing they need to sound it just in case the lift bridge operator failed to notice that there is a 1000 foot long ship underneath his bridge
I think they are thanking the operator for not dropping the bridge on their deck
Mighty James R Barker sovereignly cutting through angry Lake Superior. A joyful spectacle captured really well ! THANKS for all the TREASURES in 2019 ! Cheers . . . and a HAPPY 2020 ! 🍀🐖🍸🍾🍸🍀
Happy 2020!!! (obviously not referring to my eyesight🤓)
Beautiful bow shot, excellent.
I like those straight on bow shots.
Excellent video, thank you! I hope you were wearing your flippers. 😁😁🌊
No, my boots which filled with water at about 3:19 🥶
Okay, who wants to be a deckhand that has to go out on a rolling deck, brisk wind, 10F, to check on the lids and chip ice.
Another cup of coffee please...
Along time ago (60 years or so) my mother was friendly with a cook on an ore carrier on Superior. That and the Edmund Fitzgerald have always kept me interested. Totally professional and competent and yet low key. Need them around these days.
There are a lot of very nice people sailing the great lakes and cook is usually held in high esteem. 🍳🥘🍲🥣🥗🥩🥪🍕🍗🥓
Beautiful. Slicing through that chop like butter.
60,000 tons goes where it wants 😄
0:10 this shot is it! Such a cool perspective of this beauty, A+ for the shot and the ship, thanks for the amazing vids 👍
I like the head on shots too. Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Holy bleep. That was pretty cool. Reminds me of some October and November days in Canal Park during my UMD days.
Yeah that lake can get pretty riled up!
beautiful, nice to hear it and not just see it, perfect
I love hearing the Barker's horns!
Greetings from Duluth "East Hillside" to Duluth Mr. Alaric, nice video. I miss the old "Toot" fog horn.
Greetings! We need that foghorn back!
People complained too bad tho
That is what MY boat wants to be, when it grows up...
🤣
Good comment Andrew
East wind.. up tide.. just another day in D town. Looks like about 4 + chop out beyond. Good lake trout fishing. Lol
We miss days like this during the hot months 🌞
Love these freighters might try to get a job on the ROGER BLOUGH my hairdresser grew up with Bruce Hudson who went down on the Fitzgerald
Who did your hairdresser go down on?
Still can't get over how low these Lakers are in the water when they're loaded.
60,000 tons pushing that boat down!
@@alaricdogface wow yes, 60,000 tons is one hell of a weight on a ship in the fresh water lakes. I'm only used to the salters using the normal seas.
@@nickkaye176 some of the Wagenborg vessels that come here sit pretty low on the water as well.
It is enlightening to me, as a native Duluthian, to see the interplay between man's efforts to deal with nature and the raw power of the wind and waves. I turn 65 years old tomorrow and sincerely wish I'd learned more about my native city as a port and maritime center.
It has been a great learning experience for me, and I am always learning something new. Happy birthday by the way! 🎈🎈🎈
@@alaricdogface Thank you!
@@gregdelaney119 oops I forgot the cake! 🎂🎂🎂
I smile every time I hear the Barker's horn. Reminds me of the first time I heard it when I was a lot younger and it terrified me. Lol
I can see how that could be scary 🔊🔊🔊😱😂
Wow that was great I have never seen such a long ship like this before don't know
What kind of ship it is but it was fascinating to watch it I enjoyed that very much
Thank you for the video great stuff Liz x
That's a laker. They sail the great lakes of North America carrying iron ore and coal and other dry bulk goods. And they like to honk at bridges. 🔊🔉🔉
Beautiful!
Saw this beast pass through the Poe Lock in the UP when she was still a newer boat & only one of the few "super freighters" back then
The first time seeing these things is just a shock to the senses.
On a day like that, we should remember the Edmond Fitzgerald
And, even more importantly, spell it correctly!
That's what motivated Gordon Lightfoot to write his song. He saw it misspelled like this and it pissed him off. How would you like your ship to be spelled the New Joisey?
That full on bow shot was incredible! Great catch👍
I was still dry when that was recorded 😁
Your camera work is awesome. You give us a real Sense of just how big and long these ships are 😎👍
Up until the water filled my boots I was able to keep it pointed at the boat. 😲
@@alaricdogface mml⁹kĺ
Sborĺ0
Wow, what a voice this gal have... had to rewind a few timed
Dual horns make an awesome sound!
These are just he waves in the canal and harbor the actual lake must be totally wild. Not a calm sea for moving cargo. Bless the capt and crew.
It gets really churned up in the canal because the big waves are crammed into a confined space, like splashing in the bathtub. 🌊🛁🌊
Why don't they just break in half at the first big wave? So amazing.
It's a good weld that keeps the iron boats afloat!
Looks chilly!! Happy New Year!
Right around freezing - 32 degrees or so. Happy New Year!!!
That's why they paid those marine architects really well. Gotta be able to take on a crabby Lake Superior
I'm just glad the big ice chunks were gone.
thats a 1000' of pure awsome!
A boatload of fun!
I just really love the Barker's horn
Me too - it is an awesome sound!
I agree!
Beautiful. Thank you for letting me see this.
I hope you didn't get wet! 🌊🌊🌊😄
Happy National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day 😋!
I, was watching 👀 a old video 📹 of the James R. Barker. There, she in rough waters. She, has a Half and Half load. One, Half Load of coal and the other Half Load of Iron Ore. And, the LOUD and CLEAR SALUTE from the James R. Barker.
Down here in Detroit,Michigan. The Tornado Emergency Drills has begun every Saturday Afternoon at 1:00pm. Just, the Detroit, Michigan had the Tornado Emergency 🌪 Drill and a Freight Train Horn both at the same time, LOUD and CLEAR.
.
Tornadoes can be loud and clear too, but they can also sneak up on you. So a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is a good thing to eat if you want to hear the tornado. Unless you use crunchy peanut butter then you might not hear it coming. 🥪🥪🥪
yep, at the west end of Superior. I used to see the boats at Marquette, Michigan. It seems the lake is going to be a bit rough.
A choppy ride to the Soo!
I love our Big Lake, I live 3 blocks from it and I love the sound of the ships horns late at night it's almost a mournful sound!! Then you can hear the Bridge Responding back.
Love going to watch the massive waves during a storm. The boardwalk has gotten washed out several times over the years. LS is called an Inland Sea by some. There's a place called Stony Point where people like to Surf during those Storms and the Waves have actually washed over the dirt road that winds through the point. It's one of favorite spots along the North Shore.
Lake Superior can get pretty wild that's for sure! I've seen the surfers near the south pier of the canal too. Right where they had to replace all the beach sand after the lake storms washed it away. 🔊🔉🔉
@@alaricdogface are you from here? This is my home town! I just love explaining to people about LS! I used to drive Taxi and I would tell all the Tourists.
@@christinedorman9657 yeah I love Lake Superior and all the nice views from the top of the hill. Today i want to go jump in it after work! 🌊🌊🌊
@@alaricdogface You much braver than I. I think that cold would stop my heart! Brrrrr
@@christinedorman9657 I didn't do it - the beach was too crowded! 🏖
They are cool to watch! What a lake.
It's a fun lake 😎
That’s a beast!
What a monster. Like the horn on the ship, bridge not so much. Enjoyed the video, thank you. Edward
The bridge has a couple of train horns that are extremely loud 🙀
Love the two tone horn!
Its It's pretty awesome
Thanks, rough water today. 😎🚢🚢👍👍👍
A little choppy out there but the big boats don't care. 😁
Not to diminish Duluth, but go to Sarnia/Port Huron, get chips under the bridge and watch them going by all season in both directions.
I agree! There are many awesome boat videos from that area.
I vote this the most perfect video on TH-cam! Just the sound of the waves, the wind, the water bitchslapping the shore (LOL) Awesome! Do not apologize! This was film perfection. Just as it should be. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🚢🛳⚓🔱
At least the insides of my boots finally dried out! 🌊 🌊 🌊 🥾
Geeeeez!!! And to think the super tankers in Long Beach are even bigger than that thing?!?! Insane!
Those things are friggin huge
The power of those engines is incredible..
Power for the vessel is provided by two 8,000 bhp V-16 cylinder, four stroke cycle, single acting, turbocharged Colt-Pielstick PC2V diesel engines!
Wow, you get an east end in Duluth and a loaded ship displacing a lot of water in the ship canal and there is some chaos.
It gets messy sometimes
have stayed at the willard munger inn by the zoo and you can hear those horns quite well even that far away.
Yes, especially if the wind is blowing in off the lake.
Wonderful
Через онлайн камеру , ни разу не видел проход судна. Вот бы где то найти уведомление о прохождении судов .
Захватывающее зрелище !!! Спасибо!
marinetraffic.com показывает все корабли в мире
1:20, that's a good shot!
Yeah I was surprised it made it all the way up on deck!
This is my favorite horn
They shortened up the salute though, I want to be blasted!
I have a longer salute from this one as my alarm! 😁
@@morticiaaddams7866 That'll wake you up!
No way !
That ships horn is cool!
Time to take the waves to the Dog Pound with a Barker Bark!!💪💪
🌊🐶🔊🔊🔊🔉🔉🌊
Very cool video.Thanks
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Big Paul makes a statemrnt everytim e she enters are leaves the canal👍
My personal favorite thousand footer
Best horn - near twin of the Mesabi Miner too.
Sailed the Great Lakes for 4 summers while in college in the early 1970s. Sailed on the Enders M Voorhees, Leon Fraser, William A Irvin, Joshua A. Hatfield and the Thomas F Cole. Interestingly, the boat got older every year I sailed. The Cole, my last boat, was built in 1907. I sailed her in 1974. One of my last trips in the fall of 1974 was a downbound trip from Minnesota ( I think out of Duluth but might have been Two Harbors) and it was freaky. We left Minnesota into a pretty good blow and the sound of that 70 year old boat working in the 20-25 foot swell was damned scary. You could see the boat bend up and down in the middle on the swells and twist torsionally and the old steel just screamed. I got off a trip or so after that and never second guessed that decision.
How scary! Now the William A Irvin is where they do the haunted ship for Halloween.
😱😱 OMG soooooo big.....🙆♂️🙆♂️🙆♂️
It looks c-c-c-cold out there !
Temps right around freezing (32F) but the water that filled my boots was c-c-c-cold!
That was fun! TY! 👍
It was fun being there too!
Love all this one long two short business.
It's the best way to say hello. Maybe. 🔊🔉🔉
The bow thrusters on that ship must have been going at full speed to keep it straight in that wind!
The currents in the channel can be crazy too so they are fighting those as well.
Awesome
I did 11years deep sea on tankers and am wondering why no tugs? We always had tug support when entering/leaving port.
Lake boats have bow and stern thrusters to help them maneuver so they don't usually need tug assists. Sometimes the currents are fast and they need the tugs. Ocean vessels almost always need tugs.
Didn't need your coffee after that wakeup wave!!
Had to wring out my socks though
I used to work on that ship as a wheelsman. Forgot what a long walk it was to bow.
I see that some of the ships have bicycles on them for just that reason.
@@alaricdogface You get a 20 minute coffee break in your shift, but it takes more than 20 to walk to the galley and back. LOL
@@richjones3081 Well that's just not fair!
Does any man know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours!
No worries, they made it to Whitefish Bay.
@@alaricdogfaceGordon Lightfoot fan too,eh!
@@grantjohnston5817 of course!
H'GROOOOOONKKKK! Now there's a whistle signal!
🔊🔉🔉!!!
Your video's are surprisingly fun to watch, thank you. I am surprised on the small turning radius of these ships, do they have an auxiliary motor?
They often have two large diesel engines and maybe bow and stern thrusters for better maneuverability.
Awesome close up of the front.
It's cool when I get those head on shots
Best salute on the Lakes right now. Sad to not see Ryerson.
Maybe someday the Ryerson will sail again, but hope is starting to fade.
That ship horn almost sounded like it was summoning the kracken.
RELEASE THE KRACKEN!!! 🦀
All the more reason to stay mindful if something that huge is bearing down on you, IT CAN HURT YOU! I wish more drivers understood this regarding heavy road vehicles. I can't stop or maneuver like you can!
Very true. Several times I have heard the big boats give the 5 horn blasts warning signal to small watercraft that aren't getting out of the way.
Cool vid. that ship is absolutely massive.
Over a thousand feet long!
A wonderful music free video of my favourite great lakes 1000 footer, thank you. PS You got sloshed by the Barker, can I have your autograph.
You can have my autograph but it might be a little soggy! 🌊🌊😁🌊🌊
Like a city block going somewhere. Thanks!
There goes the neighborhood - literally!
It sure is.
All of that water scares the 'ish out of me!!!
A lot of it ended up in my boots!
Visiting the Duluth bridge operator house is definitely my next!
That would be fun 🤩
@@alaricdogface Idk if you can request special access to the bridge operator house, but I am a big fan of bridges and would love to learn from the bridge operator how they work.
@@SuperWorldRailFanProductions idk either but I imagine you can request access from the Duluth city hall.
Best salute on the lakes
The mighty Barker horn!
Thanks for showing the power of the water vs the power of the ship. That water looks rough
The big lake can get rocking, especially when there are gale force winds
Cool! All the best to you my dear friend!
Awesome! And that thing is freaking HUGE!! 😯
Hope you got your shoes dried out, lol.
Wearing them today for the first time since! 😂
@@alaricdogface haha, good stuff! 😁👍
AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!!!!
