Nicely done

Fabulous Thank you for going to get the night shot

I seem to remember there is a rarely seen swing bridge back at Grassy Point too.

The heavy breathing at the start built up the drama beautifully😊😊😊 Lovely atmospheric view of her.

She is absolutely beautiful. Especially with the lights in the fog.

Really enjoyed that POV. It's hard to see why the Vista Star has to always call secure before the bridge goes back down from the Aquarian Cam. Now it all makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing as always.

Ah, yes. The Cort. Unique in so many ways.

So that's why, back in 08, when I visited Duluth, the Vista Star boarded on the harbor side of the bridge. I vaguely recall someone saying something about the bridge, as my dog and I walked across on our way over to Canal Park. At this point, I can't remember what the comment was (85 year old mind, of course). I enjoy watching your videos of the canal and Aerial Bridge, but this was a fun one of a different side of Duluth. Thanks for sharing it.

The ships are mighty and impressive, but the most impressive was the flip phone at 11:05. Had to check the date on the video, wasn’t sure if this was from 2001 or not. Great video!

11:04am. The Captain and crew should be proud of saving this ship from further disaster. I think of the men & women who rose up every morning to go to work assembling such a large cargo ship. The hard labor and dedication to their craft speaks well of the efforts made. They should all take pride as to how long this magnificent vessel did its job. A testament to how well this ship was built and others like her. God bless all the captains and crews operating these massive cargo ships. An example of what has made America such a strong nation. Thank you. Hopefully it can be repaired enough to be sea worthy again.

Please tell me they're gonna preserve it if it gets retired.

‘Like a giant bagpipe, that JAMES R. BARKER! 😯

This was so informative and fun to watch. Another reason to visit Duluth.

A slow laborious process but really interesting. Lovely to see more of this beautiful area . Thanks so much .

Great video, thanks

Fantastic Video 😊

That was great! Thanks for another fun little video.

Is there a place being built for cruise ships to dock along there someplace or did I misunderstand that?

This is what you call awesome and going the extra mile. Now if you were there vacationing who wouldn't want to take a tour on this boat. I didn't pose that as a question because you'd be a fool not to.

Love it! Saw that and did the Star the last day in Duluth before I headed to the Soo. Was just able to show my best friend! Thanks Jonathan! Hope you are well!

I'd forgotten about that little bridge. I watched a video where they had to move the museum ship to dredge or do dock repair. I think I'm remembering that correctly, but you're not exaggerating when you said it's a tight squeeze. Banger of a video, Jonathon

Duluth MN?

Love and respect this ship, steady and ready at all times!!😊😊😊😊

I love listening to the sound of all the clamps being locked down around the cargo holds Thought this needed to be done prior to sailing

The James R Barker will always win the horn competition, IMHO!! I love seeing that ship!

What do they transport? Grain?

The Edmund Fitzgerald was a big ship as well and she's at the bottom now. Some speculate that her length may have been part of the reason she broke in two. The Great Lakes can be just as rough as the open Ocean.

Мне нужен такой клаксон в машину )

Like watching a train go by.

I grew there... very heavy.

Looks like these guys slide into the garage at night on their sides😲

I agree, it was a bit close. I remember when the ship ( cannot recall its name) hit the side of the pier. It was about two years ago. Scrapping the side and blowing their horn.. that was scary.

But she didnt sink, she held true and saved her crew. What a fine brave ship she is.

Looks like its a quarter mile long

WHOA!!!! WAY COOL VANTAGE POINT TAKEN FROM THE BRIDGE! It brings tears to my eyes to see a ship home safe---even if she is limping---knowing it could be so much worse under different conditions. Everyone cheering for her is just all the feels.

pretty cool, but makes one wonder how much oil and other contaminates leak into the lake every year.

As a former scuba diver in Thunder Bay, it was amazing to see her come into port listing so bad. Things could have gone horribly wrong, but a shout out to the Canadian coast guard and other crews that helped stabilize her enough to get into the port of Thunder Bay. Glad everyone is safe. There is just something graceful and majestic about Great Lakes ships…..

Thats a huge B*

beautiful and graceful

I'm pretty sure I saw Jack and Rose near the stern quarter!

Lucky this death trap didn't take the crew with it just like the Fitz.

Somebody at Interlakes Shipping is a Pink Floyd fan. Thanks for the videos.

Seeing the Presque Isle steaming out at that speed is crazy. Crazy that a 1000' ship coming to your aid. Pretty awesome.

4:45 Habemus papam!

Thanks so much for the video and equally for the write up, Jonathan. So sad to think she won't sail again. Hope they are able to fix her!

5:50 Boy: Honk the horn! John G Mudson: You got it! (honks) 📯📯🔊🔊🔊🔉🔉

My top 2 are the JR Barker and Roger Blough

This is the boat that convinced me that cruise ships can be beautiful!

Great Video Where Are They Headed Next?😊

Did not know that cruise ships plied the great lakes and came to Duluth.
