[@davidsquires154]

The James R. Barker, has arrived 🙌 Loud and Clear. The Master's Salute was very Loud and Clear but it was a beautiful Salute 😍.

[@clippedwingsjudy7008]

What a fabulous salute. I was glad to see all the people greeting the Barker. Thank you

[@pauliesspeedshop3578]

On the Great Lakes, there's nothing like that Barker Bark. Welcome back to Duluth!

[@janicegipson4691]

♥️ seeing the various cam views, almost better than being there! ❤️ seeing so many people including greeting the ships as part of their holiday festivities, best crowd on camera in a while. Noticed the Master Salute was well timed to coincide with the ship’s entire passage under the bridge, a neat trick 🤗

[@ProfessorIgor]

The Bark is rocking today !!

[@vner]

The sign at 1:30. Is that "Solglimt" name from a Norwegian heritage?? Anybody knows?

[@daveseddon5227]

That was a beautiful salute!

[@insertnamehere313]

She's awesome but she's not as good looking as the Fitz was as those older freighters looked better imo but she's a laker and I still love all the lakers and appreciate the work their of the crews and the freight they move to keep America going.

[@kevinjacobson731]

Always a treat to hear those horns, the soul of the ship.

[@conniedebruyn8045]

Ahhh music to my ears 👂 😌 😍

[@stormchasersky]

The bridge person sounds happy and annoyed

[@SWog617]

Military ships all seem to be named after states/places... are all of these types of ships named after people?

[@TeamDaenzer]

thats where i wanna be, on JRB

[@drcampbell1129]

JRB is a common abbreviation for James R Barker. If you are unfamiliar with it, please ask and people will be happy to answer. Otherwise, don't be rude.

[@thatwench]

love the James R Barker! she's in fine voice, today!

[@katherinespencer2633]

Beautiful love to hear the salute.

[@margaretcolquhoun4111]

Wonderful! You can't mistake that horn for any other ship, can you?

[@hamradiojim6788]

Best horns on the lake!

[@garymorris1856]

I have been to Duluth, and it is fun to watch these big ships come in.

[@CJ.Theman]

Awesome salute!

[@blackmoom]

❤️ the Bark!!

[@Janadu]

Barker is my favorite

[@barbcoleus]

Is that bridge that lifts up for walking or for cars?

[@tomt9543]

I’ve always wondered the same thing!

[@scottyjohnson3120]

Walking. I walked across it last time I was up there.

We were staying at South Pier when the Barker arrived and that was the most awesome salute I have ever heard!

[@jerroldbates355]

Very cool indeed!

There goes my first born. Always special.

[@jumpinpics2414]

Whats on board?

[@davidstaudohar9690]

🦅🇺🇸🦅 Marvelous job 👏 👌, Brings back memories from my shipping experience with the SIU , 🚢 ⚓ 🛳 🔱

[@presspound7358]

Peaceful and quiet port entry. We’re used to seeing much bigger waves and their multidirectional splashing effects. 👍 Happy Holidays to all🎄🇨🇦

[@lesterpenner8786]

This ship makes the Edmond Fitzgerald small.

[@kpkndusa]

Not being too familiar with diesel ships but, what is the steam from? It adds a good effect.

[@barbcoleus]

Wow I can’t believe all the people here to watch it.

Big Jim🚢!! Bound for DMIR? Or to pick ⛏️ up coal from Superior to St. Clair, MI.

[@paulbergen9114]

It will always be the DMIR no fake interlopers

[@nigelbews3335]

That's one hell of a long ship!

[@seanmanwill2002]

That's beautiful!

[@stormchasersky]

Looks like an edmund

[@ProfessorIgor]

not even a little...

[@davidborzi6259]

Looks more like an "Ugly". These vessels are more like barges with their superstructure at the stern. No lines to speak of.

[@michaelsmodelrailroading7665]

@@davidborzi6259 The only lines that really count on sea-going vessels are their bottom lines. The BARKER undoubtedly has a very handsome one.

[@davidborzi6259]

@@michaelsmodelrailroading7665 Her lines are more of a steerable turd....she has nothing like the grace of the Arthur Anderson, Carl Bradley, Daniel Morrell, Edmund Fitzgerald. To each their own, I guess.
