Tyler Mac it’s the James barker

The Barker is the only one that has the two level sounds. I enjoy all the horns on the great lakes

A captain's salute is one long and two short. A master salute is three long and two short. A Barker salute is three extra long, and two long.

Goosebumps....YES LOVE that High note transition into a low rattle.....Cant' explain....

It is apparently a musical 5th... it naturally goes together which is why we all find it so appealing... or so I've been told

@@DreDesignsGLMP most horns on cars, trains, and ships are tuned to a major 3rd. The perfect 5th gives an unusual sense of pure power, almost unnatural.

I love how the Barker announces her presence with authority.

I've said it once and I'll say it a thousand more times. The James R. Barker has one of the best Maritime whistles I've ever heard. The Two horns together sound a D# Major Power Chord with a resultant harmonic Major third. Such a beautiful chord.

Great footage. Wouldn't I just love to experience the sights & sounds of such ships in person.

I get an instant giggle and a tear. Definitely needs to be a ringtone for my phone

Such a noble horn on the James Barker, love that ship❤️❤️

Yes we do love that Barker Bark! Thanks for posting!

Agreed!

One of my favorite ships, I think I missed this one, what a nice find.. 👍

Absolutely beautiful ❤️

The very faint echoes after each blast are a treat to hear.

James R Barker, Arther Anderson, and a bonus of 2 more, be still my heart.

Never fails to make me smile

I love the echos of his salute

What a sight to see!! I too got goosebumps. Such a beautiful sound!

That view and salute is on my bucket list, nice video

Sometimes his salute is soooo long, I think his horn is stuck. But it is the best double horn.

I start laughing when it just keeps going and going lol

I have taken advantage of all your postings of the JRB and linked them together for one long video of one "Bark" following another. Had to work on it with some help from my computer genius son but he made it work.

Cool!

Andrea, I just saw your video and loved the salute from the James R. Barker. I've witnessed the Barker entering the Canal and harbor in Duluth and when those horns sing, they do send a chill down the spine and goose bumps to appear. Now I live in Ohio so no big boats and it's live cameras or videos. I could sit by the hour and watch those lake freighters clear the locks at the Soo. My wife thinks I'm missing a screw or two. God Bless.

Andrea you always have the best videos love your videos it always blows me away by how many awesome videos you come out with but my favorite one by the far is the one you did when you went for a ride along and got to see how they do crew changes and mail deliveries keep up the great work ma'am your a darn good videographer 🙂

Fantastic horns

Thank you for your informative commentary. There is nothing on the lakes like the 'bark'.

the barker is my favourite ship that passes through the soo along with the Viking Octantis

THE Voice of The Great Lakes. Along with your terrific accent!!

I think I’ve seen every video of the J R Barker. Awesome.

This gives me shivers as well!! I also get teary-eyed. I'm a crazy old lady, I know.

The Barker is the best,🤗

Sounds like the horn at the Gates of Heaven.

A finely tuned instument...

Love the horns its a lovely ship 🛳

WAAAAAWOOOOOOOOO!!!

NICE!! I'd like to have her horn as a ringtone!

U can hear that horn all the to Texas. Hahahahahah

I just found your video’s, you do a great job. Where did all your knowledge of shipping on the lake come from.

Thank you so much... I just try to learn as much as I can every season, I absorb what people on the Lakes tell me, I research, and I just try to retain as much as I can! It will always be a learning curve for me which I love... the more I can learn the more I have to share with everyone :)

@@DreDesignsGLMP thanks for the reply, my ship watching place is the Cape Cod Canal, look it up. You never know what you’ll see a fishing boat to a Monster Car Carrier.

Wow!!

Almost sounds like the machines from war of the worlds with tom cruse.

Big Bark

How do you know when certain ships are coming in and out? I want to see this ship in person someday and need to know when she's coming

How long does it take for a freighter to clear the locks?

@DreDesignsGLMP

Approximately an hour... 20 minutes to enter, another 20 to either be raised or lowered once they are in the chamber and another 20 minutes to exit

I helped build this ship
