Re-supplying Kaye E Barker while underway downbound from Soo Locks!

- The Kaye E Barker is a busy Great Lakes Freighter, there's no time to stop! The Ojibway supply ship based out of Sault Ste Marie, Michigan doesn't mind pulling up alongside ships to supply them with a few pallets such as food, spare parts, and equipment. I caught this happening (by accident mind you) on June 18, 2024. I'd seen the Ojibway once before (with the Presque Isle) and was curious, so I've kept an eye out for it since I looked it up.
*I appreciate your previous feedback - this is a re-upload where I've fixed my audio issues. Sorry about that! I used my better mic, found a version of the song with no lyrics, and dropped the music volume. Rookie mistake - thanks for tuning back in!*
For this shoot I was flying my Mavic 3 Classic, and the background music is Carry Us Home by HARBRS (licensed through Audiio). As with all my videos, this was edited in DaVinci Resolve.
There's some truly wonderful tidbits of history! Who knew!? Really enjoyed this one!!
Thanks! I think I've got the drone flying down now, just gotta work on using that footage to make a good video. Still got lots to learn from explorers such as yourself!
Excellent! Great sound, great drone work, great information. I enjoyed watching it.
Thanks, really appreciate the feedback!

Nice view and interesting info. Good work.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
great footage as always
Thanks! Seeing the Ojibway just starting to pull out as I was flying towards Kaye was pure dang luck!
Love it with the audio buds!! Great work as always makes it very interesting !
Thanks! Really appreciate it 😃
Great video. Well narrated.
Thanks! Always great to hear when a new thing you're trying is appreciated 👍
UA-cam gave me this treat of a video on the recommendation feed. Very awesome drone footage! Love from Sweden! Glad Midsommar!
Cheers from Canada! Many thanks, and I'm glad you liked it 😊
I saw the 'Jib service the Stewart J. Cort when my family drove to the Upper Peninsula in 1973.
You've got a great memory! I believe she would have been owned by US Steel at that time, but still doing the same job
There is the Kaye E. Barker, and there is the James R. Barker.
There is the Lee A. Tregurtha, and there is the Paul R. Tregurtha.
All 4 work for the Interlake Steamship Company.
Lots of ships are named after their owners and spouses. In a way it's nice that all these ships are part of a family. I've yet to catch that iconic Barker bark from the James R. Barker or see the Lee A. Tregurtha - they come through my area regularly but getting the weather and our schedules to line up has been difficult so far. Hopefully soon!
Great job with the narration, and everything else. 👍
Thanks! I think a bit of context does help the videos. Glad to have channels such as yours for inspiration!
I used to fuel those big boys and Coast Guard vessels. Usually 30,000 gallons minimum
Dang, that's a lot of diesel! Does that mean you saw pretty much every freighter on the lakes, or did different shipping companies each have their own separate suppliers?
I see that ship come into Grand Haven several times
I'm kinda surprised (but very thankful) they don't just do the same route over and over. Makes it lots easier to see a good variety of ships!
Was just there a saw the Ojibwe supplying a freighter.
The first time I saw it I had no idea what was happening until I got home (tiny screen on the drone's controller). This was the second time and fortunately I knew what to expect. Andrea actually got on the Ojibway and offers a really cool perspective in her video: ua-cam.com/video/vgJDPMhbUDU/v-deo.htmlsi=et5GQLHR_kO3Ognf
@@NorthernElevations We were camping at the Soo Locks Campground and watched the Ojibwe offloading and a circle of deck mates near groups of boxes and carrying them into the ship. Day later on the boat tour they explained it all. Interesting info.

Nice video, but you left out that she was Benson Ford No. 3 in the mid 80s for Fords fleet. She was featured in a special called Iron Boats Iron Men as Benson
That's a neat fact! With these ships well out lasting folks careers it makes sense that they'd have multiple names over their lifespans. Somehow I missed it's middle name 😔
@@NorthernElevations
I think she was only Benson Ford from like 85 to 89, depending on whenever the timline is that Ford sold the original William Clay and bought what is now the Lee A. Tregurtha
Like this comment if you saw the original upload with crappy audio 😅
Lose the damn music,jeez.
Do you not like the song, or just don't like background music in videos? I feel like background music helps keep a video flowing for the style of videos I enjoy creating. If you like ships with more commentary and no background music, Andrea is extremely knowledgeable and knows more than I could ever hope to know about these ships.
