[@MichaelJohnson-dt8tv]

Good Grief! That ship is so long, it’s morning up by her bows and the sun is going down back aft! 😊 Really Impressive!

The James R. Barker may not have the Pilot House Forward arrangement, but it does have a cool sounding horn.

Poor kid in the green and black shorts looks like he may have added some brown to them on that first blast.

That's a nice horn! I want to have one on my car.

[@LibbyRal]

I want it for my phone's ring tone. It's on the internet, just have to figure out how to put it on my Samsung 22E

[@TheReal_Faxzy]

That horn never fails me the James r barker come to Duluth all the time and load coal but the guy in the green shorts lol

[@daulab]

[@vincei4252]

This is what I want the horn on my car to sound like.

[@BrianAchterberg928]

Best horns out of all the Ladies of The Lakes!

[@ElFimpo]

Working on it. Swedish, moved to the states in 2016.

[@lynndemartini9379]

Holy ship! Just saw a GREAT informative video on this ship. It's sooo huge and love the horn!!

[@happyHi_l3r]

Wow i love That horn

[@roryking1]

the last one caught me off guard😂

[@TWLML420]

I wonder is the deck hands think its cool that so many people stop and wave to the ship or if they are just like "piss off you damn tourists'' LOL.

[@nunyabinniss201]

Most of them dig it. At some point they all want to go home for a while, and seeing people waving and smiling can give a boost right when needed most.

[@AdrianR.374]

I’m actually a deckhand on a ship in the same company! I think it’s the absolute coolest thing that people will wave and take pictures of me and my ship. Sometimes if they’re close enough I’ll even do a quick pose lol

[@AdrianR.374]

@@nunyabinniss201That’s more true than you even realize I think. Coming out here brand new, fresh out of high school, I was in total shock. I won’t get into details, but seeing all the happy people wave and stuff really made me feel better. It gave me the lift I needed to keep going and so here I still am. So thank you people who go and watch and wave :)

[@laurenceleask5139]

Fantastic horns ❤❤❤❤

[@Iamgroot9170]

Holy crap!!!!!!

[@shafsaba1465]

The way the guy with the black green pants shaked his leg it was funny😂

[@DaveSnelson-ox2vv]

Wow

[@nunyabinniss201]

I think I'll blast this out the windows when the neighbors with the insanely loud dogs are asleep. Wonder if the ol' Cerwin Vega's will handle it at about 150 watts.

[@johnr5042]

F@ck them dogs...

[@jonasasplund1423]

The answer is yes!

[@nguamat2244]

Dài thế số 1 🥇 còi tàu nghe cũng khác người khủng quá 😱

[@weesha3101]

What sound signal was that?

[@johnwagner4776]

Almost sounds like the UFO Mothership in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"

[@petesplacestuff4781]

Which Great Lake? Superior?

[@smurfhits5688]

Holy shit stats a long ship

[@frankielarkin8142]

Looks like the barker might have hit the brown note

[@Southwest_923WR]

And then he tries to play it off by double hand waves!!! OMG, MY STOMACH HURTING! Poor Kid made my day!🤣😂😁😂😂😁😂

[@baardagaam]

This must be the intro to Under Siege 3

[@user-fk8ry2cs5c]

[@Mr91495osh]

That’s the longest ship I ever saw

[@BrianAchterberg928]

She’s 1000ft. long

[@gabrielarambula4465]

Only the Paul R. Tregurtha is longer

[@BrianAchterberg928]

@@gabrielarambula4465 The PRT is the longest Great Lakes ship/bulk carrier, she’s 1,014 ft. long and that’s why she’s known as The Queen of The Lakes.

[@yoonjins_sweetiepie]

The James R Barker is 1,004 feet in length. An absolute beauty of a laker. My favorite 1,000 footer on the lakes right now

[@TOTALCAMARO]

The bridge’s horns will make you jump not the James Barker’s. Lol

[@jnf1270]

that guy seems a little spectrumy lol

[@lorinkramer1524]

The kid in the green and black shorts starts the double hand waving, hoping that nobody will notice he just blew the bottom of his shorts out. 🫢
