Here is a very short video of the arrival of the James R Barker yesterday morning.. I saw he was already partly out from behind Sugar Island so I grabbed my gear quickly and recorded.. it's just the salute for you... I wanted to get my Mosquito and head downtown to catch them because he seemed to be going a bit faster than usual and I needed time to get downtown and get the Mosquito ready... Good thing I did because they were right there when I arrived So here's what is likely our last UPBOUND #

I hav a couple of videos from yesterday to share with you... First on is the James R Barker going by my house on their way past Mission Point and Rotary Park on the Michigan side of the river... I had just gotten back to town after chasing the Edgar B Speer down at Johnson's Point and Stribling... I was glad to get this because I wasn't able to go down to the Rock Cut with Miss Edna and Bill our Cleveland Editor who is in town as you know from his postings... He's seen a lot so far and he still

Ok so it's clear there are a lot of non Great Lakes shipwatchers watching this post who don't understand that seeing this ship and salute up close is a big deal... I won't police any comments anymore, I'll just delete them if they are derogatory or negative. Here is some basic info on this vessel so everyone knows since I am seeing the same questions pop up in the comments and I can't go through over 1000 comments to answer everyone... This is the James R Barker from the Interlake Steamship Comp

Ok here they are... the James R Barker and Captain Newland making the turn at Johnson's Point with myself, Miss Edna and quite a number of other folks watching from the newly designed boat launch! I have never seen so many cars there at once and so many people... I was shocked... and they even have great signage up now talking about the shipping from back in the day and modern day shipping... I meant to take pics of those and forgot so I will have to remember the next time In the meantime, here'

James R Barker with the best two-tone horn and salute on the Great Lakes. The James R. Barker has the most iconic salute on the Great Lakes. Known as "The Barker Bark," the captain of the Barker frequently delights ship-watchers with an extra-long “Masters Salute.” Two salutes are common while ships pass under the Aerial Lift Bridge in Duluth. Neither are required or necessary. They are performed at the discretion of the ship’s captain. The "captain's salute" consists of one long and two short b

The famous James R Barker sailed into Duluth October 29 2025 at 01:06 in the late evening. Arriving with no cargo as per the norm, heading to the CN dock for the 10th time this season to load Iron Ore Pellets. The ore they are loading will be delivered to Toledo OH this time. This will be only their 2nd delivery to Toldedo for the season. The Barker pulled up to the CN dock at 02:08 and began loading the ore. 30.7 hours later, October 30 at 08:51 they finished the long load and gleefully departe

Well I made it back across to Sault Ste Marie, MI and am headed to Mission Point/Rotary Park to see Captain Newland and the JRB go by! Somehow I feel like there’s going to be a lot of people there… Any salute Captain does here is for Miss Edna and he knows I will be recording so get ready for a “Miss Edna Special”!! She returns from Arizona in early May so pretty soon she’ll be able to watch herself but at least for now I can catch them for her Stay tuned, our first salute for Miss Edna will be

I just realized I haven't shared my video from Pointe Louise last night as the James R Barker approached me at the point.. I shared my iPhone video but not the camera video from before she got to me This is always a fun turn to watch so I wanted to grab it since I was there in time to see it :) Not long after this, Captain Newland and his crew arrived where I was at the point and I did my other video and he gave a FABULOUS #BarkerBark Captain Salute for me, so if you haven't seen that video yet
