James R Barker

The James R Barker of the Interlake Steamship Co. coming into the Safe Harbor of Duluth, Minnesota. A Cold, snowy, windy day on Lake Superior from my archive of 10/29/2013.

Now that is one big, hefty ship. Nice one Tom.

[Pamela Fillhouer]

This is so great...love it.

:-) Not sure if I would recognize you from your photo, but it would be fun to meet up. This is a wonderful capture of the ship in the canal. Well done Tom. Now, that I know you are from the area, I look forward to see what you post up. Hopefully, you haunt places that I haven't shot and give me some new places to visit. Have you ever shot the ice caves? It's something that I'm kicking around doing this winter.

Wow, what an impressive ship. Love the grey and the bits of red!

@zenna live in Plymouth Mn. but go to the North Shore as often as possible. Have not shot the Ice Caves, but hope to do it this year.

@stimuloog Thanks Marloes one can tell that it is a working ship and has seen some storms. It was a gray, windy snowy day

a great shot of the laker....love the pov with the wall of water ahead of the bow...(never been able to get a shot of a ship coming through the canal here that I liked)

[Tom]

@jayberg Thanks J ; a little luck, Pam's wanting to go to Canal Park that day, and the ship all coming together.

@tosee this ship is 1000 feet long but the Welland canal can only handle lengths of 740 feet..so the James R Barker sails only in in the upper lakes
