Kaye E. Barker- The Fine Lines Of A Classical Design (8/11/24)

This video documents the Kaye E. Barker upbound on the St. Clair River. She came from the Cliffs Plant on River Rouge in Detroit Mi. She was heading for Cedarville Michigan to load stone for Marquette Michigan.
This vessel is defiantly a beauty. The official design class of the Kaye Barker is referred to as a Triple A. There are multiple still sailing. I will leave a list below this paragraph of the Whole AAA Class. The AAA class has some beautiful lines especially seen when they are sailing away from you.
