I mostly love James R. Barker’s horn. It sounds mighty and legendary. The captain knows it's a legendary ship, so he blasts the horn long.

The reason the James r barker’s captain is blowing the horn so long is because it was a master salute horn instead of a Great Lakes salute. My dad was in the coast Guard that’s why I know that

If you told me two weeks ago that I'd be listening to 20 minutes of GL ships tooting their horns, I would've laughed in your face...but here I am...and it's glorious.

That's awesome!!!

The Alpena is 80 years old and still stunning. I wish I held my age that well.

Back in the 80s my grandparents had a summer cottage near Sister Bay in Egg Harbor in Door County Wisconsin, I was just a little kid, I don’t remember shipping names but we’d watch them as they came and went. You could see them on the horizon, it sparked a love of these ships and their horns. The James R Barker is amazing… I was born in ‘76

Amazing work! The Century has been and always be my favorite. It's retired Captain, who was a good friend of mine, sadly passed away. Great video as always!

I remember growing up about an hour south of Sault Ste. Marie and watching these freighters go up and down the channel. I miss the sounds of the horns, the seagulls, and the waves. Used to know a guy who could look at every boat without the aid of binoculars and tell you the name of the boat. Unfortunately, I can't handle the cold so well in my old age, I'd love to retire up there.

Liked, favorited, sent to the dad, and enjoyed with immense aural appreciation! The Miner and Manitoulin are right near the top of the list for me. But the Gott, Cuyahoga, and Wilfred Sykes are also reeaaally good. Ohhh, but the Speer, Munson and Saginaw sound so nice as well. Can I just pick all of them? Big Barker is kind of at the top by default though (I think. The Speer sounded SO good). Surprised me a moment to see the Calloway in here; was it really that recently that she was laid up? EDIT: Didn't notice the part where it said this was 2020-2022. Thought it was all from 2022. Whoops.

As a kid I would see and hear these 'freighters and ore boats come and go on Saginaw Bay and through Bay City. It was ambient background to hear these guys let the bridge tenders know they were coming thu. Going from one side of town to the other, sometimes you just had to wait for the draw bridge to come back down. Does one long, two short mean 'open the bridge'?

@1Long2Short

Жыл бұрын

One long and two short is a captain's salute, a friendly greeting from the ship to the bridge or to another boat (or to people watching from the shore). A three long and two short blast is a master salute, a slightly more "formal" version of the captain's salute, serving the same purpose. The bridge is opened when the ship makes a radio call to the bridge operator, typically when they are 1.5 miles out (or roughly 10 minutes away).

I was just 8-9 and 10yrs old in '57, 58 and 59 when we spent summers at our cottage on the West side of the Saginaw Bay, at Linwood Beach, about 20 miles North of Bay City. Looking East to the horizon, I would see these ships as they were coming into or leaving the Saginaw River. I can only guess they were in a channel that was maybe 5 miles out from the beach. Maybe 5 to 8 coming in, and the same going out each day. Can you or someone , tell me what these, that we just called 'freighters', were carrying ? We moved to Calif. in '59 when I was 10. I can be very nostalgic thinking of Bay City and 'the beach'.

The video description goes into detail about what the salutes are. Salutes are greetings between the ships and the lift bridge (or to bystanders). Five or more shorts blasts of the horn are a warning to other ships that might be in the path of the freighter.

@1Long2Short

Жыл бұрын

They are maximizing their cargo capacity. A thinner, tapered bow would reduce capacity in the front holds. Any loss of efficiency cutting through the water is made up by carrying the extra cargo. They also don’t move very fast… about 12-14 knots for most hauls.
