@@alaricdogface Really? That's pretty powerful. If only we had waterways that were big enough to accomodate this beauty of a ship alongside Paul R. Tregurtha. I would've loved to see them sailing along the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Great vid, I was lucky enough to see the Barker's maiden voyage when I was a young kid from my Grandparent's cottage on Harsen's Island Mi. circa 1976. Wow, it was so cool to a 9 year old back then!!
Wow, excellent capture of the JAMES R BARKER and her horn salute! I think that she has the best horn on the lakes and the captain playing that horn has some real talent, well done!
motorhead if you thought that was good driving, you should have seen the American Century arrive here a couple weeks ago, pulled off one of the fastest and tighest turns into the harbor that I've ever seen. At one point it even looked like the ship was slipping sideways thru the water. And he started that turn a good 5-10 seconds before he cleared the bridge
@sugardrat - they are well tuned - to the point that they produce the overtone to the bass note octave above - making it sound like there are 3 horns instead of 2 . Nicely done!!
I made one for you. This will open up and you just click on the download icon on the right side of the play bar! :-) Enjoy! coinclocks.webs.com/BARKER%20RING%20TONE.mp3

Of several videos I've watched of the James R Barker, this one have the cleanest sound over all the rest. Kudos. Is that an air or steam horn? Also, what brand of horn is this? Is there some place where can I find details on this horn?
@@alaricdogface thanks for the reply. Now if I can figure out how to mount them on my motorcycle :) The James R Barker has the best sound of any ship I've heard. Thanks again for the info.
It's a big hunk of metal that horn is brilliant...sad though to put things in perspective is the now scrapped jarre Viking was 458meters long,it was featured on a Jeremy Clarkson video, that was collosal.
Soupdragon1964 the bridge-forward design has a few major drawbacks too, for example: you can’t see your stern, and it’s a very long walk to the engine room.
I live 2 miles from the Lift Bridge I get to hear ship salutes all the time and It never gets old.
Yes I agree it never gets old 🔊🔉🔉😁
I live near a CN road track , same thing but with trains!
I can never get enough of that double horn on the James R Barker.
Its pretty awesome! 🔊🔊🔊🔉🔉
It's insane just how powerful those horns sound, like something a Titan from WH40K would blast.
There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.
Now that's what I call a salute!! Man that's beautiful!
If you're on the pier that horn shakes your whole body!

That would be really cool!
thanks to whoever selected those 2 horns to use in harmony... good work
The shipbuilders must employ sound engineers to!
It did seem to be a pretty clean fifth.
Don't ever change those horns!!
More ships shpuld have a two tone horn to them. The perfect fifth sounds awesome
TRULY A BEAUTIFUL AND WELL RESPECTED SALUTE TO ALL OUR MARINERS...
They are a rare breed indeed.
Best horn on the Lakes! ♥️⛴️
I love the Barker horns!
I got distracted reading the comments and when I looked up, she was still passing through! Now, THAT'S a long ship!
Or short comments! 🤣
This ship is so long, the bow and stern are in different times zones
ba dum tsss
@@alaricdogface what???
You could run a marathon on that ship.. lol.. amazing
Commentor1 I believe it.. :).. they are amazing!...
nvhldo, 😇😊
Used to deliver once a week in Duluth , would go extra slow over 535 bridge just to watch these beautiful ships !
what a magnificent piece of engineering. mankind can be proud to build such a thing. beautiful
It takes a lot of brilliant engineering to get the iron ore out of the ground and down to the steel mills!
Basso profundo of the Lakes! And the echo is magnificent ✨️!
Yes the echo can be amazing sometimes 🔊🔊🔊🔉🔉)))))(((((((
Those horns are loud and proud they are very majestic sounding
People come from all around to hear the James R Barker salute!
That ship's horn! I can't get over it! It's just a floating island... there is no other way around it.
A big diesel powered island
I don't know much about ships, but Mr. Barker has a cool ship to carry his name.
The funny thing is that I used to have a manager named Jim Barker. I can't help but think of him just for a moment whenever I see this boat.
BY FAR, "THE BEST AND MOST MEMORABLE HORN SALUTE" FROM ANY SHIP SAILING OUR INLAND SEAS ...
You really feel it when it's blasting right at you!
TRUER WORDS WERE NEVER SPOKEN! Thanks for your post and heartfelt reply....
Ryan Kopp ... Ryerson?
@@TheEmeraldMenOfficial She is not currently sailing our inland seas. 😕
It makes my heart ache how much I miss my hometown of Duluth
70 degrees today so its paradise now.
The deep two tone horn on the James R Baker are amazing....
They really blast you on the pier, the vibration goes right through you. 🔊🤸♂️
I love to hear ship 🚢 horn every day it give me joy
I feel the same way! 🔊🔉🔉
Love it. Most musical sounding horn I have ever heard! Wish Gordon Lightfoot used it in Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald...
A perfect G note for Gordon!
alaricdogface lol. I don’t remember posting this but I think I was right still.
This one is the BEST so far in sound
I felt the blast go right through me!
Really really just so cool I remember EVERYTHING. The Putnam Family East Coast salutes you back. 😎. Thank you again.
We salute the Putnam Family East Coast!
Wow, excellent capture of the JAMES R BARKER and her horn salute! I think that she has the best horn on the lakes and the captain playing that horn has some real talent, well done!
I could physically feel the blast of the horn - or maybe it just took my breath away. Thanks for watching!
Amazing how accurately he.pilots ship through such a narrow.canal!
I am an Ocean guy we need this and Pilot boats... Awesome skills.

@@garchompkills4530 very very impressive. I'd probably crash it into Two Harbors if they put in charge of that vessel
The most beautiful horns ever!!!
🔊🔉🔉😁
the barker is one of a kind it is the king of the salutes those horns (yes there are two that is how they get the two tone)
Sugaredrat 374 Actually the Horn is the name of the sound emitting device and it may have one or more Trumpets
@sugardrat - they are well tuned - to the point that they produce the overtone to the bass note octave above - making it sound like there are 3 horns instead of 2 . Nicely done!!
Well, Duluth is up now! Yes, I would love it as a ringtone too! 📢💙
The sound of the trumpet sounded, especially the First trumpet
This orchestra has a good horn section.
02:34 "excuse me!" :-)
What horns are those? Absolute beautiful sound!
You are so right. They are beautiful. What a beautiful ATTENTION getter. I’m with you.
I know there made by kahlenberg
Tim is right. Kahlenberg horns. Models KM-110 (110hz) and a KM-75 (75hz).
Everything about the Barker is great!
That is true!
I like the horns,🇺🇸💪
Yeah they're pretty awesome 🔊🔉🔉
James r Barker horn sounds awesome
Wish I could save that as a ringtone LOL

yeah and if u go to high school or ur at work it goes when ur at a meeting or in class the people will be like What Was That?

It's now my ringtone and I have scared so people with it 😂
This ship earns best ship horn
Horn earns a thumbs up!
Sounds like alien contact in the movie Close Encounters
Yes! The Barker is the mother ship! 🤣
Amazing horns!!!
Stunning even!
simply, unbelievable
Fabulous..!!..🇬🇧🇺🇸
😁
Now that's a big boat!!!
1004 feet long!
Nice sound, very nice 🙂
🔊🔉🔉😁
I have watched many a video of ships coming to port in Duluth.
It’s where I live.
The JRB has the most soulful, impressive of them all.
I was lucky enough to catch the Barker a few more times this year than usual and it still an awesome spectacle every time.
Awesome.
😍 Awesome sound 😍
Beautifully tuned!
Your videos are really a treat.
Very well made
Thanks! But the boats do most of the work. 😁
Very cool!
I find it insane to have a ship that big that close to shore !
It is cool though
Fantastic vid!!! The salute echo was haunting.
They really blasted us!
fantastic james barker
I got up close to this ship on the soo locks tour in Sault Ste. Marie michigan
The best place to see ships!
It's a great looking ship, not a lot of scraping damage from docking maneuvers.
All it’d take is a toot of the horn and the dock would be so afraid it’d move out of the way.
They should paint on this ship "We don't stop for nothing".
*except to load and unload
those ships are huge. amazing
Debbie Mclaughlin thank you, captain and shift commander labonte
It's so cool how you can see how the bow waves recoil off the bottom and sides of the canal.
Yes, when the waves are coming in it really gets magnified.
That looks like a nice place for ship watching.
It really is, and Duluth is a busy port.
Now that's an entrance (or rather, exit)!
Sing your song, big guy!!!
No one can belt it out like the Barker! 🔊🔉🔉
I want to make this my ringtone

Great video. Love the closeness and the horns.
Thanks!
Yup I can hear that horn in Texas
That might be all those storms you guys have been hit with. #staysafe
Do the engines have exhaust scrubbers, as that seems to be a lot of steam from the funnel ?
Yes, all the Interlake vessels have them.
@@alaricdogface Thanks.....it just had to be. Looks good actually ;-)
She's so incredible 😍
I agree! 🔊🔉🔉
Amazing
Absolutely awesome
It's even better live
With the Ryerson out of service, I think it's fair to say the Barker and the Blough now have the best sets of horns on the lakes now.
Spaghettios no tergurtha has a great one too
The blough is out of service at this time due to a fire during winter layup
brilliant clip, thanx for that
Thanks for watching!
had an uncle named, James Barker... don't know if he had an R or not. I can't remember. Cool ship,
We also have Barker's Island, named after a Captain Barker from back in the day.
Port cities such as Duluth, Charleston, Savannah, Long Beach, and New Orleans should be sounded like that in their ports.
Wish i could save that ringtone
There are some out there, just Google James R Barker ringtone.
@@alaricdogface The site is no longer available
@@jonathancrit7090 well that's too bad. There used to be one on the Duluth webcam site but that was a while ago.
Beautiful :)
Sweet music !
I agree!
That sounds like a train! Lol.
A hundred trains.
Well there is a train horn involved. Its on the bridge

I believe it has two Kahlenberg horns, probably air. Also probably their largest model.

@@rendlerendle Now that I'd like to see! 🚲🔊🔉🔉
thx for the information , jan 16 - '2018
My question is how does the captain blow two of those horns at the same time? Are there like separate levers in the bridge control room of the ship?
I think there is a button for each horn so he holds down two of them. 🔊 🔉 🔉
I think the echo echo echo does does does it it it for me...
I love the way the sound bounces off the buildings around here
It's a big hunk of metal that horn is brilliant...sad though to put things in perspective is the now scrapped jarre Viking was 458meters long,it was featured on a Jeremy Clarkson video, that was collosal.
That's big. The lakers can't get much longer or they wouldn't fit through the locks.
The Barker's bark.😁
🐶🔊🔉🔉
How long is this ship omg so amazing
1004 feet long
Thanks
Why is it that the earlier Great Lakes ore carriers mostly had forward bridges, but the current ones are all aft?
It's the modern design, the ocean ships have a similar design.
Soupdragon1964 the bridge-forward design has a few major drawbacks too, for example: you can’t see your stern, and it’s a very long walk to the engine room.
Does somebody what horn models are on it? That is one killer combination.
I'm told the low note is a Kockums Supertyfon MKT230/75, the high is an MKT150/110.
GREAT VIDEO SHIP IS MOVING FAST LOOKS LIKE
Jason Harper Easier to steer with some headway.
good shipping video. fine boat.
I was stunned
Told you so!
Should be a NHL horn
He shoots he scores! 🔊🔉🔉
AirPods in at 2.30!
brain melter
Sooooooooooo long...my God
That's just awesome
I'd like to have this horn as a ringtone!
Somebody had a link to one in the comments but I can't remember who.
Sounds like a pefect low G note there! IMPRESSIVE!!!
I'm told it is a perfect fifth.
alaricdogface Sure sounds like it. Never gets old hearing that!
I noticed the bicycle on the deck. I guess the crew rides it to check stuff because the ship is so long??
Yeah they use those a lot on the thousand footers.
It takes a week to pass by you.
I know, I timed it with a calendar. 😅
What year did your calendar start in?
@@UnderWhelmed55 Somewhere in the Jurassic Period 🦖
Wonder how deep that channel is? Draft of those huge boats must be 15'+.
Nice vid, thank you. I wonder if John Cage took inspiration from something like this.
Oh no I should have made the video 4 minutes 33 seconds long.
Love your videos
Thanks!
