Watching this mighty ship is so relaxing. It seems like the water is trying it's best to hinder her, but she's just doesn't bothered by it. And that horn blast is absolutely majestic, I'd to love to hear it in person!

Since, the James R. Barker is rocking the Canal. Back in the day, there was a Disco song 🎵named Don't Rock the Boat. The name of the group, that sang the song was the Hughes Corporation. This was in the 1970's, and Disco Dancing 🕺was in.

What an absolute monstrosity this is! This is a building floating down the water. Take the Empire State and turn it on its side and float it down the canal! The part that always surprises me, the part that I can never get past ... these things float down the water and the water is just seething beneath them, and the boat doesn't even budge. It doesn't rock, it doesn't shake, its unfazed... its just plowing through completely level and not even moving (except the movement of its own power). Ship is like yeah get the fuck out of the way water... mama's coming through! It's not even a ship! It's a moving freaking Island!!! And that whistle? I have never in my life heard any vessel have a whistle as unique as that! Look at how it stays so stable in the water! This thing is a floating island! Look at it! It doesn't even budge.The water is roiling beneath it! And it doesn't budge. Is it any wonder that any Captain of a vessel like this would feel like it were invincible? Hands down, this has to be one of the most badass vessels on the Great Lakes!

It is really rocking the canal. By the way, The Interlake Steamship Co. are the owners of the vessel or it is just constructed by them for their customers?

When the boats go through the channel in these conditions, do they have to throttle up a little or can they just go through dead slow? I'm only asking because I'm looking for vids with these at full speed

All I know is the speed limit in the channel and the harbor is 3 knots. Years ago the waves were coming in over the pier walls and a boat (I think it was the Michipicoten) lined up and punched it to get out. Also I'm uploading the Paul R Tregurtha coming in pretty fast just the other day.
