James R. Barker - Fantastic Horn Blast!

Описание к видео James R. Barker - Fantastic Horn Blast!

While we wait during the lull between the 2019 and 2020 shipping seasons, here is another video from the archives... this time showing a fan-favorite with the James R. Barker arriving in Duluth, Minnesota on September 13, 2017. Those who are already familiar with the Barker are aware of her great dual horn setup, somewhat similar to the Joseph L. Block I featured here a few days ago... but with a different tone. I was in the right spot to get the full blast from the Barker's horn for this video. If you listen closely, you can also hear some of the narration from the Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center from across the shipping canal. Even the lady doing the narration remarks that the James Barker is her favorite ship, due to her horn!

(Note: With some of these "flashback" videos, the footage may have been previously uploaded to this channel, but often with music overlaid on it. At the time, I used music to hide the excessive wind noise picked up by the cheap microphone I had. I have since found ways to edit the audio to reduce the wind noise to a more tolerable level, even if it still doesn't sound perfect. Like many viewers, I prefer natural sounds over music, so I hope this re-upload is an improvement. Also, if some of my video skills seem a little more crude with this older footage, it's because I was still trying to figure out how to record these ships in action. Indeed, I still am learning!)
