Quadruple Ships, Including the 2 Best Horns on the Great Lakes Being Show-Offs 

John G Munson might be 72 years old, but she has a mighty voice, right up there with the Barker Bark.

I just read your Profiletext, and wanted to let you know: Job done! I‘ll never be able to visit Duluth, even if I‘d really love to, so you‘re kinda my eyes and ears over there. Keep it up!

Nice and you caught Elias on the pole!!! :-) I love hearing the little kids excited and the one that said, honk the horn, and the Munson did!! Love love love Jonathan!!!

The James R Barker will always win the horn competition, IMHO!! I love seeing that ship!

Awesome stuff. Great sounding salutes.

Fabulous video, thank you for sharing!

The ladies were in fine voice for sure. What a joy.

Great video, but at the 11:10 point I lost my focus when I saw the lady filming with a flip phone,which then got me wondering how many cell phones have found their forever home along that bulkhead wall over the years..😅

Great video! Thank you😊

Great video. Nice to catch all them. I didn’t see anyone jump when the horns went off. Thank you for sharing your video with us. 😊

The Barker with that awesome fifth! I've always wondered why they all don't go for a more agreeable chord choice. 🎶🎵

Awesome sounds

Looks like you were there to film the Barker, Munson, and Burns Harbor too! I filmed the first 2 from closer to the lighthouse while you were closer to the Lift Bridge. I got a couple of still shots of the Burns afterwards.

Great footage, a question, is the voiceover live or Memorex?

These ship videos are really wonderful. They will make a great historical record when the Lakers are all gone in the very near future. The Environmental Extremists are on a mission to stop all mining in Minnesota including Taconite Mining. They and their Twin Cities/Duluth Liberal (DFL) friends and the Tribes are trying to introduce permitting legislation, which if passed, will be used against not only Copper/Nickel Mining but Taconite Mining too! When Mining (including Coal) is gone, the Lakers will no longer be needed. The ironic thing is the Liberal Duluth DFL can’t see that their actions and that of their Environmentalist, Tribal and Twin Cities allies will also kill their precious Canal Park Tourism along with Mining but they are too blind to see (nor do they care about) the final outcome of the actions they are taking against Mining. It is also ironic that Duluth/Superior metro is the Largest Polluter of Lake Superior! Every grain of sand/salt used on their roads, every hazardous spill from their residents/businesses, every herbicide/pesticide they use, all of the garbage/cigarette butts and oil from cars on their streets, all of the sewage overflows and all of the human excrement from their homeless people get washed into Lake Superior in vast quantities. (This applies even more to the Twin Cities Metro, the largest Polluter of the Upper Mississippi River) Maybe you people should clean up your own pollution issues that have gone on for well over 100 years instead of worrying about your trumped up pollution issues from Mining. Enjoy the Show while you still can 😉

Super fun to watch and hear - thank you!

What a great video! These ships sure do know how to spoil a crowd!

Wow! That's a good way to spend a couple of hours. I'm probably in the minority here, and not to dis JRB, but I kinda like John G's tooter a bit more. It sounds like it's singing when it changes pitch 🤗

Didn't the Author Anderson follow the Edmond Fitzgerald on it's last trip?

Ship salutes the bridge and the bridge salutes the ships ?

I appreciate the captains and crews for putting on these spectacular shows for the visitors. My kids are grown now, but still talk about the boats and the times we spent in Duluth and on the north shore….we wanted to give them memories that would last a lifetime….and there is nothing like these boats. Coming through the canal.

Vista Star tried, but hard to beat the booming voice of the Barker.

AWESOMENESS!!

Wow; three for one what a treat , love it

WOW!!!!!

Cool video! I’m curious how many cell phones get dropped into the channel!😂

I really like going to the beach, maybe because of the One Pice series that I often read 😁

I have got to get up there and see this in person!

I love that Majestic horn on that ship❤, it’s my favorite ship😎😎🍮🍮👍👍

‘Like a giant bagpipe, that JAMES R. BARKER! 😯

Fantastic video of alot of action! Wish I was there!!😊😊

That ship has the best horn and liked the long harn being existing

From the west coast, *Salute!* 🌹⚓

5:50 Boy: Honk the horn! John G Mudson: You got it! (honks) 📯📯🔊🔊🔊🔉🔉

Thank you for a splendid video.

That's the horn I'm fitting to my Subaru! Awesome!

won? no competition for the Barker in my mind i hope to hear it in person one day

Can I ask a dumb question, I grew up and am still near Wilmington Delaware. Why are Great Lakes shipped tagged in Wilmington? Is it the tax haven thing? Thank you.

The ship that cracked open my dad has worked in the elevators for 30 years plus and the MTP has been loading grain in Thunder Bay plus Duluth but since he was a young man starting to work at Saskatchewan wheat pool before it was bought out by Victeria I think that's the name but that was 50 years ago he retired but that's how long that ship has been working the great lakes

I was in Thunder Bay Ontario and they sure have a lot off Salties ocean going vessels sitting in Harbour waiting for orders the Lakers come in and go right to one of the elevators to load grain oats peas but they never have to wait and anchor like the oceans ships some times there's up to a dozen anchored in Harbour for days waiting for orders paper work it's a really busy port Thunder Bay now and over years is getting busier and busier lots of ocean ships loading peas or grain for new Zealand UK these guys working on these ships the hours and days just sitting waiting it's not a job for everyone

when these freighters come thru do they always blow the horn? I want to go visit soon but don't want to be disappointed if they don't always do the horn blasts.

0:59, 5:52. The Horns of the James R. Barker & the John G Munson.

That's what I call one heckuva heavy metal video. Fantastic!

Great show 👏 👍!!! You even outdid Mike AND Paul... When the Barker BARKS, IT BARKS😮!!!

That is him!

The ships are mighty and impressive, but the most impressive was the flip phone at 11:05. Had to check the date on the video, wasn’t sure if this was from 2001 or not. Great video!

First thing that came to mind was the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Looks like these guys slide into the garage at night on their sides😲

My top 2 are the JR Barker and Roger Blough

I'm not sure who you are filming this, I want to thank you for these great videos!! Your sound that is recorded comes through great. Again thank you for sharing these awesome videos.
