Everything about this video is just great! Between the intro of the bow of the miner and the sterns of the Miner and Barker moving along with the rain at the canal. It all come together great. Awesome work!

Excellent video! Dramatic footage of this great ship...

You are so dedicated and appreciated ❤

The rain sounds relaxing (for viewers)! Glad you didn’t get electrocuted!

Thank you for braving the foul weather to bring us another fine video. Cheers!

A lot of rain in the upper Great Lakes region lately. I’m wondering if western Lake Superior is stained brown like a few years ago?

Man, that was beautiful. Those head on shots are really instructive. We all know how impressive the length is but the width of these monsters is very impressive too.

Another awesome video, thanks. Nasty bit of weather nicely captured -- rain, thunder, lightning and into all of this goes the Mesabi Miner with her approximate 68,000 tons of taconite. I love that you captured the pilot house with its lights shining brightly despite Mother Nature trying to steal the show.

That was excellent.

Great video! How many decibels is that horn I wonder?😳😳

It still amazes me as to how these captains can simply Man Handle these huge ships around, IE the pivot.

Appreciate your steady camera and that you just let it roll.

Atmospheric! Great video, The Miner's horn sounds like it may need a dose of sinus spray! (might just be the weather) Cheers.

I'm so happy and moved to see such a crowd turning out to see her back in, even at the late hour. That really shows how much the people there care about the ships, the crews, and the industry at large (hell, most of them probably know somebody who works on one of the ships). Like waiting for a family member to return after hearing they almost died. Also, on a fun note, I don't know if you noticed at the time (I only know because somebody else noticed), but while Manitoulin was en route to help offload, her listed destination on Marine Traffic was "WERE COMIN MICHI".

Remember cutting all the windows. What a job

I don't care where you see them. In port, on the lakes, in a lock. Lakers are so graceful. Thanks for this fascinating video of the Hon James L Oberstar getting underway and departing the Duluth Superior harbor.

What a trooper, filimg a bonafide "footer" in the rain. That will take a while.

Absolutely 💯 beautiful! Thanks 1 Long 2 Short for sharing!

I motored my 38' sailboat past a ship like this in St Joe. To drop their lines they engaged bow thruster towards the pier. That wash threw my 17,000 lb boat sideways like a bath toy. And I was probably 50' away at the start.

The Mesabi Miner...neither rain nor shine can take away from the majesty of the Miner. And when she makes her turn into the Canal, you know she's in charge. My thanks to Capt Paul Berger, the Miner crew and Interlake for taking such good care of this beautiful ship. And to you for bringing such an atmospheric and detailed video of my favorite Laker.

Wow

NICE!

You have brought a perfect showcase of the Mark W. Barker. The inclusion of a ride that even gives us a glimpse of Hallet 8 was grand. Thanks for your continued dedication and tireless efforts.

Such a beautiful ship, arguably the most beautiful on the great lakes. Thanks to the Captain for all the salutes!

3 Barkers (in Length order): The Mark W. Barker (639ft). The Kaye E. Barker (767ft). & The James R. Barker (1,004ft).

Beautiful piece. Now just wait and hope.

To me She is the "Flagship" of the Great Lakes. Be an honor to be part of her crew. You either feel ships or you don't

Captain sounded like he was finally exhaling on their safe arrival. I know we all were as well. Welcome back! You aretruly blessed!

Something about the Baby Barker I just like. She's a new ship, which harkens back to US shipbuilding. She can carry a wide range of cargo, which speaks to US industry and commerce. And she's designed to fit in the Cuyahoga, which speaks to me, having lived in Cleveland for a couple years and visited multiple times. The entire idea of this ship just makes me happy.

As you say, time will tell. We all want to see her repaired and safely sailing again, along with Cuyahoga, on whom I can't find any new info. Michie shouldn't have had to make this journey as the drydock in TBay was operating last season, but due to some political BS to try and buy votes in Quebec, Heddle Marine was shut out of Federal shipbuilding contracts and it's currently sitting idle with its tradesmen laid off. Great video 1L2S. ✌️✌️

It looks like the thrusters were in the dock ! I came to the description to find out if that was the case but they are in the boat it seems.

Video spettacolare!🤩

My wife and I were fishing at the Holland Street Pier in Erie, Pennsylvania on Saturday night (6/22/24), and the Victory and Maumee were docked there. It was really cool to see them up close and in person.

Thanks for posting, another great video. Glad she made it safely to the dry dock and nice to see an enthusiastic crowd to greet her.

Thanks for the video

Thank you for braving the cold to capture this beautiful video!

Great vid!! Keep up the good work😎

Would love to see a 3 way Barker Ship meet. Tht would be amazing

This is a wonderful ship, and it's very interesting to learn about the cargo hold...how cool that she has not one but two front-end loaders! These ships never cease to amaze me. Thank you for sharing this with us. I hope she had a safe journey.

I wonder if Mark has a brother named Bob? I can see it now: Interlake commissions a second River Class ship with plans to name it the Bob Barker. This, in turn, could lead to the new boat being nicknamed, "The Price is Right Ship." 😄

That was one long...😂

A great salute

Hi there. First, thanks so much for all your efforts following the ship all the way into the Fraser cut. I loved watching the pilot house spot piercing the night sky! The captain of the Manitoulin (Captain TJ) has a neat channel. Yesterday he responded to a comment I made by saying "Rand is bent on repair". Only time will tell what the final outcome will be for this gem of a classic laker. Thanks again for documenting as much of this journey as possible into Fraser.

Hoping for the new beginning! Total respect & admiration for the Michipicoten & her crew (as well as the Helen H). They've been through a lot & I'm sure this trip (and uncertainty) is very hard on them. We've got some wonderful mariners sailing the lakes from both sides of the border & we see it when they come to the aid of others.
