[@RobertValinsky]

I like the barker's horns the best of all the lake boats!!!

[@ellenhalpern1882]

[@richardharris9797]

That ship has the best horn

[@compteck7]

That...that is the Barker's Bark salute we love. 3 long, 2 short

[@april906outdoors3]

I was there that morning, standing on the north pier. What an awesome salute that was!

Tyler Mac and we’re was that

[@briangustafson5757]

I heard the Big Barker has the loudest horns in the world 🌍.... Thank you for sharing

[@minerran]

I know all you shipfans LOVE those salutes but imagine owning a home close by and being woke up frequently in the middle of the night or early morning every day! Some of you might feel differently. Ditto for the railfans who get excited by locomotives constantly blowing the horn thru town but don't think about those living there. The ship horns are not too bad, its that bridge horn that is deafening because its a higher pitch than the ship horns.

People often wonder why everyone in Duluth/Superior makes such a huge fuss about ships coming and going. It's simply because there's literally NOTHING else to do up there that isn't alcohol related.

That was the best salute I have heard

[@davidwatts2879]

Hearing the Barker Bark makes my day!

[@jepsdog3859]

Hey Mike does the Barker have two separate whistles or does the captain pull the lever with different pressures to get those most excellent tones ?

[@AirchimeLTDproductions174]

The Barker has two Tyfons on the roof of the bridge that produce the notes B-flat and E-flat producing a D# Power chord with a major 3rd. Very very pretty.
