  • The 1004 foot ship James R. Barker blasted an incredibly loud master salute as it arrived from Lake Superior in Duluth, MN. I was able to capture the exciting atmosphere by the Lift Bridge and with the crowd as I set the stage for this awesome ship to arrive. Also, a few shoutouts to boat friends that approached me before recording this video.

She is so popular with all of us that finding a spot is a huge challenge. She IS a beauty and never ever gets old to see her!! That whistle of hers always gives me goosebumps. Don't know why.
