⚓️Decibel Record SHATTERED by Ship James R. Barker as it departs Duluth, MN

  • I have been documenting numerous vessels arriving/departing Duluth using a decibel meter to determine which ship has the loudest horn/whistle on Lake Superior. There has been speculation for years that the 1004 foot ship James R. Barker has the loudest horn/whistle on the Great Lakes, and that theory is now confirmed!
    This video shows the James R. Barker breaking the decibel record with a whopping 123.1 decibel reading as it passes under the Aerial Lift Bridge heading onto Lake Superior. There is NO DOUBT now that this ship has the most powerful and loudest whistle/horn out there! By the way, if the new decibel record wasn't cool enough, it was done with a master salute! I was very excited after seeing/hearing the pervious decibel record was shattered!

    You gotta love when a Captain puts his weight behind a whistle, hearing protection required with the James R Barker.

      By the sound of that whistle, it sounds like five crew members had their weight on it as well! The JRB is so impressive!👍👊⛴️

      @richf6111 absolutely Rich, here’s the information below. After you read that, go to the video I just posted five minutes ago and see a powerful storm on Lake superior. How deep/wide/long ship canal:
      Its length is 0.33 miles (0.53 k). The canal is maintained at 245 feet (75 m) wide. Depth: 28 to 32 feet in the entrance; 27 feet deep in the iron-ore route channels, and 20 to 23 feet in the inner channels. Here’s a little more information about dredging the canal. It’s a few years old, but the article still is relevant. www.lre.usace.army.mil/Media/News-Releases/Article/2289075/wisconsin-company-to-dredge-duluth-superior-harbor/ (www.lre.usace.army.mil/Media/News-Releases/Article/2289075/wisconsin-company-to-dredge-duluth-superior-harbor/)

    • @bigmonmagoomba9634
      @bigmonmagoomba9634 Год назад +1

      I root for all the American companies but the Duluth-based Great Lakes Fleet is just a piece of the Canadian National system and the American Steamship Company is a subsidiary of the Rand Corporation. Interlake, as you know, is a privately held company that is wholly vested in the shipping company with no other interests and is a pillar of the industry.

      The audio anomalies are not a result of movement or Dopplering, the ship's horns are overloading his microphone.

    • @vibewithmike
      @vibewithmike  Год назад +1

      I’m using a special microphone to do these videos. When I started doing the videos you could barely hear me because of wind. This microphone is specifically designed to cut the wind out completely. The downside, the volume is not as loud and there is some sound canceling scenarios as well. However, trust me, if I had a standard microphone, you would never be able to hear me with all the wind here in Duluth. I hope this all makes sense. Thanks for the comment. All the best my friend!👍⛴️👊

      Approximate times....
      Two days across Superior to the Soo locks.
      24 hours from there to Port Huron.
      About another 11-12 to Toledo.
      Two days and change from the locks to Chicago or Gary.
      Times are approximate, and depend on actual course and speed.
      Course/speed typically most impacted by weather

    Your channel makes me nostalgic! I grew up watch freighters go up and down the St. Clair river at Marine City. Most people do not realize there is strict great lakes traffic control for these and ocean going ships. There is a published schedule, so you can look up when “a big one” is for example entering the St Clair river. With a river current of as much as 5 or 6 mph, and as narrow and shallow as is the channel (requiring speed for steerage) there is no room for a traffic jam or back up.

    COLREGS Annex III - being over 200m the RJB's 'whistle' is required to be at least 143 dB at 1m from the whistle, so it can be heard typically 2 nautical miles away. Of course, anyone standing 1m away would be instantly deafened
    Under British rules, 4.46 seconds at 123 dB per day is the limit without hearing protection...

      Most useful to boaters (apart from the various long/short patterns to say what's happening) is that deeper, lower frequency sound signal DOES mean a bigger vessel. It's a rough guide, but without AIS it's better than nothing.

    I moved up just below the Boulevard in Little Italy/Observation Park neighborhood a few years ago. When the leaves are off the trees, I can just see the top of the Bridge from my deck, but can’t really see the boats as they come in, so I took it upon myself to learn the boats by the sound of their whistles. Obviously, the JRB was the easiest. Lolol.

    • @vibewithmike

      I have a microphone that is specifically designed to cut out all wind. If I didn’t have that you would never be able to hear me and it would be extremely annoying because you’d be hearing wind gusts. There will never be wind, but it does have a sound canceling feature on it as well. That’s why there’s a little bit of a down tick after a loud noise is heard.
