[@md8dc9]

Very nice, thanks for including the radio audio! 😀

[@oceansoul3694]

oh I LOVE the James R Barker's horn! What a wonderful Master's salute that was. The radio traffic is most appreciated!

[@jima28080]

She sure draws out the low notes! Wonderful!

[@jpb1231000]

I wish I had joined the MM!!! LOVE the BIG FREIGHTERS!!!

[@susanc1107]

I was so lucky to witness this while it was happening. I’m on the west coast so that I was lucky enough to wake up and unexpectedly see this is a very good memory.

[@bradyrivers8643]

What a treat to hear the James R Barker's horn this morning from my house up on the hill. It's like an ancient Celtic war horn.

[@ryancrummy4114]

I'm glad I'm not the only who thinks of battles of old when she barks

[@MikeG42]

Duluth is a great looking place to be. Excellent pictures and video. Nice lighthouse too 😊👍

[@sjwilloughby-greene8214]

I love watching and listening. Thank you to everyone that makes this happen every day. ⚓💙⚓💙⚓💙⚓💙⚓💙⚓

[@debbiemclaughlin3460]

Thanks James R. Barker I'm now awake here in Idaho....what a bark.

[@TNS17]

This easily has to be one of the coolest videos ever.

[@GaryGP40]

That was an impressive show. Three of my favorites, back to back to back!! Opening salvo of the Bark-- WOW!! Welcome back, Captain!!

[@jimr3422]

Great cams DHC...awesome viewing this morning.

[@rosehamiilton5662]

What an Ultimate Highlight video.! Wow 3 1,000 footers. At Sunrise. And for The Finally The Queen of The Lakes!! The Paul R. It Doesn’t get any Better!....... Love the radio traffic in the video!

[@normahodge6791]

Stunning, majestic, awesome.

[@pierreroger447]

Images remarquables ! Spectacle impressionnant ! Un grand bonjour depuis le Nord de la France !

[@madrake]

I watched it live this morning. Thanks for posting this with the audio. Really enjoyed listening to the radio traffic between the three ships and between the ships and the bridge. Nice of the PRT to let the bridge lower to clear the traffic on the road.

[@gingerbread6614]

Wow what a sight. Thank you

[@jackienaturelover9761]

Wow. A triple header. That was so cool. Love seeing all the ships. It looks like the regular captain is back on the Barker. It was good to hear the long master salute. Welcome back captain. Thanks for sharing.

[@GaryGP40]

He is. He's been back for about a week. Last time she was in Duluth, I knew her Captain was back, because he really lets the horns roar. I love hearing the echo from them when he's done too.

[@johnriley7053]

Captain Newland

[@godis080plays6]

That horn is absolutely crazy I wish all the ships did that but then I guess it would be so special

[@TOTALCAMARO]

Now that is just amazing to see. One following right behind the other. And one at granny’s speed to allow them to come in. Lol Thank you so much for sharing this. Good morning everyone. Have a great weekend 🤗

[@michaelborgelt1600]

Thanks, you too. Here it is 6 pm already. So cheers ; - )

[@blauer2551]

Excellent video, this doesn’t happen very often I assume. What a thrill for the spectators.

[@beberle9641]

Goosebumps from head to toe when the Barkers horn blows!

[@seajustsea4935]

Thank you, thank you for putting this 3fer together! I don't get up at 6am anymore. Enjoyed the calls back and forth, as always! Of course, loved hearing the Barker "Bark".

[@NoewerrATall]

Wow. That is a LOT of steel bobbing around there! 🤯

[@BKetch]

Wow that would have been awesome to be there in person for this one.

[@2snowgirl520]

I think the Barkers captain loves that horn as much as I do.

[@GaryGP40]

He does. He knows how distinctive it is and likes it that way!

[@Cand0002]

The Barker gets the Gold Medal 🥇 for her earth Shattering Bark, Paul R Tregurtha gets the silver 🥈 and the McCarthy gets the Bronze 🥉 in the Horn Contest

[@margaret4870]

🤣🤣🤣

[@mikeconway8448]

What a ballet of giants.

[@nickhuber9627]

Who doesn't love the Barkers bark!

[@susanallen1100]

Great footage. Thank you.

[@LibbyRal]

wonderful radio accompaniment 'thanks for your hustle' 'down to granny speed' - how delightful

[@michaelborgelt1600]

Wow, there was really something going on. Many greetings from Germany : - )

[@whatupplaya7951]

I love listening to you guys communication to each other🤗🚢❤

[@leekroeger9587]

A triple treat!

[@tbc27Z]

Thanks Duluth Harbor 🤩

[@Kendallian132]

I'm over a thousand miles to the east in Boston, Massachusetts, but am enjoying the heck out of this channel. I've long wanted to get out thattaway and to the Soo Locks as well for a visit. Perhaps later this fall. Quick Question: Are the townhouses on the harbor side of the channel privately owned dwellings or are they bed and breakfasts or some such?

[@jonathanellsworth21]

There’s a lot of large hotels behind these cams, as well as smaller inns and B&Bs on the south (camera facing) side. There’s also some private houses scattered in there. Most of Duluth’s tourist zone is behind the cams, or are often mounted on top of main attractions. The canal is just part of it!

[@susanpugh130]

I'm so glad you watch the Cam. My family came to the twin ports in the late 1890's. Such history here. Put it in your bucket list.

[@crazyworldoccupant7386]

I watched it live and love to see it saved here forever.

[@brucel399]

Nice video to start my morning off. Was very disappointed with the WJM. It seems like that ship never really let's the horns out.

[@2snowgirl520]

Very cool!!!

[@whmills02]

Good morning Duluth . Welcome home

[@jdinhuntsvilleal4514]

Is my memory bad, or did I hear it wrong the first time? I was watching live when these three boats came in/ went out, and I distinctly remember the James R Barker giving a THREE LONG, two short salute. We even discussed that in chat. And NOTICE, the bridge DID return a THREE long, two short salute.

[@jonathanellsworth21]

Yes, the master salute

[@andrewcrane2786]

Cool radio 📻 chatting love it that is very loud frog horn big time then blowing train horn.

[@toma5153]

Tregurtha "running down to granny speed". 🤣

[@tylerhoop5312]

Question: at 9:17 anyone know what vessel that pilot house on the dock belonged to?

[@orbiting_brainlaser]

The Horn of Helm Hammerhand will sound in the deep, one last time! LOL

[@charlottecunningham2141]

Second ship’s salute sounded like she had a bit of attitude behind it

[@GaryGP40]

One thing that will make you feel small is having to salute almost immediately after the Barker, that horn combination is second to none!

[@324bear]

Is the Paul R Tregurtha DRIFTING like a street car racer?

[@jedknutson8373]

wjm i think that was the shortest salute I've ever heard...

[@jonnydanger7181]

Wheeers captain Over? 😀

[@patricks_music]

I bet you could hear the Barker from across the lake lol 😅

[@anthonyochocki6535]

👍

[@sts718]

12:54 was that a train horn?

[@godis080plays6]

HOLY SHIPS!

[@MikeG42]

One of the best shots is at 4:20

[@324bear]

Am I the only one that heard the Bridge response sounded a little "Barker-ish" when responding to the JRB?

[@GaryGP40]

Nope, I heard the secondary tone on the long blasts. It's not a particularly pleasant pitch combination, it sounds like a diminished fourth.

[@jonathanellsworth21]

@@GaryGP40 it sounds way worse on this audio than in person

[@GrotePaarseDraak65]

Gif every boat a salute if they passed the bridge👍👍😃😃😃

[@PPEOPLE1]

Cool

[@ensnipe2000]

Quite busy for a Saturday morning

[@TNS17]

Why do they say security 3 times?

[@GaryGP40]

It's an attention call so other radio traffic will give way to the ship giving the broadcast. It's intended to cut off any radio chatter and give priority to a ship moving in or out, especially when they are that large.

[@oceansoul3694]

@@GaryGP40 Gary, thank you very much for explaining this!

[@Jfk3434]

Granny speed 😢

[@johnandrews3568]

The Walter J horn is kinda sad compared to the Barker's bark.

[@markthomas6980]

They should start a fund to replace that bridge horn. It’s terrible. The boats sound awesome. Bridge is annoying.

[@austinmclaen4007]

I wish the boats could be solar panel or be charged with wind energy

[@brendanflaig5429]
