You can grab a burger at Clyde’s Drive-In and park by the Sugar Island ferry dock or drive over to Rotary Island and see the freighters go by. They are very close, maybe 50 yards or less.
@centexan We just went to Duluth Harbor two weeks ago to see the Barker leaving and the Paul R Tragurtha come in. As well as several other big ships. It was the trip of a lifetime.
It is so worth it! I just heard it come into Duluth a few weeks ago and it was one of the best sounds I have ever heard. The echo afterwards is amazing too.
We get some 600-650 foot car haulers up the Columbia from Portland on through southwest Washington. Always interesting to see them pull the water in and flood it back as they pass, at least that happens here. No horn shows for us though!
So awesome. I’m on the shore of Lake Michigan as I type this marveling at the inland seas that I’ve been fortunate enough to have seen all five H.O.M.E.S never living more than a 10 minute walk from L. Ontario in Toronto and L. Michigan in Chicago. I use to take this for granted because I have seen them and these vessels my entire life including countless crossings on the car carrier of the Chi-Chimaun to Manitoulin Island from Tobermory. It’s just crazy how these go across the ocean into these inland seas we know is the great lakes, which are a watershed to all the other lakes east of the Mississippi that are essentially there because of the Great Lakes. I don’t fully understand it, I mean, I get the locks, I get the cargo ships, but as far as the dangers go, that have captains prefer to be in the ocean rather than the Great Lakes and other geological aspects I’m only learning now after 42 years of looking at them from the top of my street and nearly being killed by them. If those lakes are strong enough to bring down one of those vessels like the Edmund Fitzgerald, imagine what they can do to you. I know better than to think I can contend with nature, well over the last 15 years. Great video of that monster of a ship!
I don' think these ships ever go into the ocean. these are interlake ships, fresh water only, and I believe they are to big to fit through the st lawrence sea way. I may be wrong, but I know ship lovers call the ocean vessels coming into duluth "salties". god bless.
When I was a kid, my brother and I were in Quebec right on the St. Lawrence River and we seen one of the ships maybe a mile or two ahead of where we were swimming in a very narrow part of the river so my Dad got us out of the water and stood at the edge of the river as it’s passing us and the captain comes out on the deck and starts waving at us along with all the crew. It looks like that ship exactly like that shit but I can’t say for sure whether it was or wasn’t, that was in 91 right before Kriss Kross had us totally crossed out but it wouldn’t be that far of a stretch to think that I’ve seen some of these famous ships considering I spent my entire life on the Great Lakes. You never know! #greatlakeskids 🙏
So happy to find you here on you tube Andrea.!! Liked and subscribed , as I've eliminated f/b and their censorship and political b/s from my life, yep, lost touch with many people in the process, but sanity is more important.!!
These ships are so hugely impressive on the video. It must be really special to be right there as they go by. And the Barker Blast is just superior!

Those barks are majestic. Would love to see the horn unit. the captain sure has fun with the horn
I've watched this video so many times, and it never gets old. Hearing that whistle in person is on my bucket list.
It's amazing. You got to hear it in person ❤
I heard it in person in Port Huron its very load
Loud
Wow now I ask you how do you not have a wonderful day after hearing that Barker bark lol
The reverb!!! Awesome 😃
Beautiful Barker. Best horn beautiful voiced captain. Woo. Got it all🤗🌟🌟
Loudest Bark in the world 🌎 thank you for sharing 🙂
Love that horn
I love the James R Barker horn!!And the echo even makes it if possible better.Thanx for sharing this on yt,absolutely wonderful😄😄😄
GOOSEBUMPS!❤️
The Master Blaster!!
It's like the sounds from Close Encounters😁
yeah ! My feeling each time !
Yes! The big blast that blows out all the windows on the 'Dark Side of The Moon'!
Here in Louisiana, she has created a new genre of music, Bark and Roll!!
Boys will see this and go hell yeah
I was up there a couple weeks ago in the SOO I saw and heard the Barker bark very impressive.
Awesome as ever! That echo was the cherry on top!
The finest horns, ever, again. There is no ship nearby, musically. Absolutely outstanding.
Thank you Andrea, another great 'bark' video......good job.
Wow! What an echo!
A Whole Lotta Barkin' Goin' On!!!!
thank you for your great posts, I do have a question, we are coming in Sept. how do I know when the ships are coming in?
Best bark ever. Thank you for this video
My dream is to hear this live in person
We just did two weeks ago. What a treat.
It is so worth it! I just heard it come into Duluth a few weeks ago and it was one of the best sounds I have ever heard. The echo afterwards is amazing too.
Andrea you’re always precise about location.
Love it!

Man, she describes this like an Olympic sport or a Golf Open and I'd rather watch this a million times than one of those once. Love it.

Forgive redundant and poor grammar. English isn’t easy despite being my first and only language. Just know that I think this is really KEWWWWL 😎
How can you ever tire from that horn? It's a perfect sound.
The captain never came out. 😢
I freaking love that wonderful bark
❤❤❤love the horns ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome thank you!

That'll get 'em runnin' !Better than a dinner bell!!!
The reverb is amazing
Fantastico!
The Best BARK on the lakes!!!
Beautiful video! ❤
I'm a swedish ship engine enigneer and worked on multiple european vessles.
But this takes the cake!
Davy jones hold tight......
I might have been on the Barker that day!
Awesome
You can buy all of them, I think there still up for sale. Contact CN Canada
The Bark! 👍😁
Ship so close to the shore. Must be a deep channel to take its draught when loaded. How deep is it I wonder ?
Wow its louder than the qe2
Is Edna still sitting there waiting for her wave from the Captain ?
OMG it sounds so much different from this side.
Nice
BarkerBark Galore galère !
Best horn on the lakes
Rodolf and his mighty horn
Sweet
Why is that horn so unique? Why is it high and then so low?
I don’t mean to be rude, and I know nothing of this ship, but I can see two different horn sizes @ 2:19, so I’ll say that’s the reason.
I'd love to have a horn like that on my truck
I tried and tried...i did not see the captain "come out and wave."
His friend Edna turned out to not be there.. he always does so at the time I presumed he would but he never did because she was not there
Was sagen die Nachbarn dazu? 😂
