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.
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.
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." 😄
@1Long2Short yay! Taconite Plinko. And for the Cliff Hanger game, have a caricature of the captain slowly going up the self-unloading boom. Don't let him fall off! 🤣
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.
Thank you Lisa! 😊 I was thinking about the two front-end loaders. I suppose they need one to work each side of the conveyor belt to keep the ship on an even keel. Would be fun to watch them at work!
