What a sight seeing this massive ship passing through the Superior Canal. Just think, some lucky person/s got to watch the first ore ever shipped from Superior in November 1892. He and/or she might have watched from right where Mike was capturing this video. The ore came from the Misabi Range at Mountain Iron, MN. That vessel was a 252 foot whaleback freighter built in nearby Duluth.....Barge 102. Boy have ore carriers changed!! www.reddit.com/r/ModelShips/comments/17t4t9s/great_lakes_whaleback_barge/
It's always a great day for me any day I can see a ship from my "Holy Trinity" of ships. The JRB, the Tregurtha & the Arthur M Anderson. What a Big beautiful ship. The only thing that would have made it even greater would have been if all of us boat buddies could have gotten to listen to Captain Brad Newland hit those wonderful JRB horns in a Master's Salute, Thanks Mike!!! Can't wait to hear about our boat buddies surprise you have planned!
You will like the surprises Ken, if everything goes according to plan, you’ll see one of the surprises this coming week. The second surprise is announcement of a partnership, and you will really like this company, let’s just say we all know it very well.
Thanks for sharing Mike, from Arizona City, Az. see your sitting at 34 F so I am not going to tell ya we are at 92 F here put my gloves away for the summer. Have a great weekend.
It was definitely cooler today, but I’m not going to complain after we had such a great and mild winter. The JRB is the best ship out there to most people and I was able to record it today.
Thank you for sharing I used to visit and go aboard the Big Barker when they used to come to Marquette to unload coal I knew the chief cook and had a few meals I miss them coming here I also miss the M Miner and the PRT they also came here to unload coal ... Again Thank you for sharing
How lucky is that! Being able to go on the barker. I also heard that the cooks on these ships are fantastic. Fantastic food and they’re really good people.
@briangustafson5757 it’s really cool. You were able to do that. Did you see the video today? ruclips.net/video/vQdMUOjEnY0/видео.htmlsi=i8WmZPbrNh_bVnBs
The pleasure is all mine, it was nothing short of incredible watching this famous ship go by me today and I’m so glad I was able to record it for everybody
That’s one of the most beautiful ships on the Great Lakes. It’s a absolute beast and it has so much power. Thank you for taking time to write this comment and to watch the video Dave.
Betty, those seagulls did not send either of us an invite. We might have to get a loaf of bread or some fish to get invited it sounds like.😂😂😂😂😂⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️
Great video again Mike. Really awesome ship. But did I miss it going under the bridge. No salutes from the bridge or the ship. Or was this a different location. 🙋♂️👏👏🇬🇧
Mike, I’m glad that you brought up this point. This video is actually shot in superior Wisconsin, at the superior entry. It is a few miles from Duluth in the aerial lift bridge. This gives me a unique situation to record ships going in two different different areas. Here’s some great information about the superior entry that I think you’ll enjoy. www.johnweeks.com/river_stlouis/pages/stlL01.html
@@vibewithmike Yes. Mike I don’t know if I have asked you this question so I’m going to do it now. what are your thoughts on the new Minnesota flag? I know I’m late to this question but I’m still curious.
@Boatguy624 there’s some things I like about it and some things I don’t. I guess it’s something new so it’s going to take time getting used to. I think the colors look good though.
It’s obviously that I have mastered the skill of teleporting, did you not see the spaceship behind me?⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️👍👍⛴️⛴️ what’s up sky!!!! Good hearing from you.
I get no bigger thrill than being able to record these beautiful ships and show them to people that don’t have the ability to be in Duluth or on Lake superior to see these majestic ships
I realize that it's cheaper and more efficient (and less damaging perhaps?) and perhaps even safer to not have a superstructure on the front of a laker, as in the older, traditional designs. But this ship and those after it look too much like ocean-going container ships. That unique distinctiveness is sorely missed by me, at least.
@RobertCraft-re5sf absolutely, the Alpena! I have only personally viewed this vessel one time and it’s one of the most memorable times I have ever encountered next to the bridge. Luckily, I was able to record it. This was back in 2022. m.ruclips.net/video/iYimDhY6vzM/видео.html
Hey, don’t worry there’s going to be plenty of ship action coming up over the next few weeks. I have a big surprise for you. They’ll be coming most likely this week.
Love this boat! JRB is definitely one of the top boats, top 5 for me! You know it’s a good day when I see a notification from you for a new video. Wore my Vibe With Mike winter hat today while hitting some golf balls :)
I just love coming to your channel, It makes me feel like I am at home. I love watching these videos. What is done with these Iron ore pellets? I guess I could google it. LOL. I miss your neck of the woods. My Aunt and Uncle lived in Proctor and my Gramma lived in Morgan Park. I think those towns are in the Duluth area. But still ESKO is my home even though I have not been there since December of 1963. I miss it. Another question, about how many ships go under this lift bridge in a day or maybe a week. Just curious.
This is the type of, that really makes me smile. Someone like you that understands what it’s like to live in Duluth/Esko, but transplanted somewhere else. It’s amazing how the Northland can really get into your soul. However, that’s snow and cold is something that must be nice to be away from though. I thank you so much for sharing your comment and I’m delighted to hear that you are having fun with this channel. We are going to have more fun ahead.
If this Great Lakes Freighter operates on on the Great Lakes, why would have have "Wilmington Delaware" as its home port? I don't know a lot about shipping
Extremely excellent question. First, let me thank you for taking time out of your Thursday to watch this video and also drop a comment. This definitely will help people learn. This is such a great question. I did some research. Take a look at this article. It has many years ago but it’s still applies today. It’s a place to pay lower taxes if you register your ship there. www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1980/08/15/the-fleet-from-delaware/14beeb17-7ff6-40a3-bb7e-0fdcacd70672/#
Thanks Mike for another great video as always this never gets old buddy keep them coming I'll definitely be watching from Brantford ontario canada cheers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey my friend from the Netherlands! I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. It’s always great hearing from you. Send me a video from the Netherlands of a ship.🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
Hey Mike. One of your better video's. Superior has a lonely feeling about it. I only wish the Barker would have howled. Thanks. Chicago, mostly clear skies, 46 degrees, 4-22-24. 03:05 hours
Tim, I really appreciate you saying this. What a delightful comment. It really really brought a smile to my face all the best to you, brother. I hope you have a fantastic Monday.
Thanks for bringing the boats to us. One of these days I'll get a picture of a ship out on the Cook Inlet. Hopefully with Mount Redoubt in the background. 52 degrees here in ALASKA. Our Seagulls returned March 24th, a sign of spring here. Still no Robin's.
Hey friend, I hope all is well there in Alaska. Those seagulls are making a return here in Duluth. They didn’t really go too far but now they’re really gonna come back because of all the food the tourists throw to them. I’ve noticed that in Duluth.
Interesting! I dont think I have seen this dock before! This marker is new and those fire things in the water is new to me too! You are right bro, that is a beautiful spot! JRB is always very impressive to behold! Those iron ore pellets almost look like imperfect buckshot haha! Hope you have a fantastic Sunday Mike! Take care and God bless! 🙂🚢🛳
This ship entry is only a few miles away from the Duluth Bridge that we look at all the time. It’s really interesting to have a second entry. Johan, check this out man, I think you’ll find it. Interesting as it explains this area that I was standing at much better. www.johnweeks.com/river_stlouis/pages/stlL01.html
The bark was tamed today, but it still was a beast coming through right by us on the water. It was awesome to record this and upload today for everybody.
Don, great hearing from you, brother. No, great question. The PRT is still sitting at the dock and it has not moved. There’s been a lot of speculation that it’s going to be loading and departing Duluth very soon. But I haven’t seen any movement. When I do. I plan on recording it.⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️
Hey, thanks friend, I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. Did you see this ship video? ⚓️Vertical Challenge in Duluth: Giant Ship Nearly Grazes Bridge! ruclips.net/video/vQdMUOjEnY0/видео.html
Now that is a site that I would love to show. And that does happen in the Midwest where you can catch that situation where the snow comes down, unbelievable.
We occasionally go to Hilton Head South Carolina sitting on the beach on a hot summer day ! We watch large container ships come out of what seems like a mirage heading into the port of Savannah ! It’s nice to pan with binoculars and see whats coming along with other interesting things as well ! 😁
Hey friend! Thank you so much for the comment. I’ve heard many people talk to me about Hilton head South Carolina. I have to get there someday. I heard the beaches are great there. I hope you subscribe (it’s free) and come back to my channel to watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
No worries friend, I will take some of that heat if you want to send it over to me 🤣 it was really fun recording this ship. Every chance I get to record it I always want to get it done so I can show everybody that loves it here on RUclips.
I don’t believe you done a Superior video before so this was a real treat. We need to do this more often. You don’t get the big crowds and the salutes we all like but you get some beautiful open water and pretty scenery. This was very enjoyable.
It’s so amazing recording the ships at the superior entry. You get a great video because they move so slow by you. I did do a few videos before at the same location. Here’s one of my favorites. m.ruclips.net/video/LXG6jGh9sW8/видео.html
It’s a beautiful and powerful ship. I think it’s definitely the number one shipped to most that love Great Lakes shipping with the current ships out there.
Lumpy, I always get a smile when I see a comment from you. I hope your Saturday is going fantastic. This was so fun to record the ship today. God bless you and your family.
Lauren, hope you’re doing great. It was fantastic meeting you the other day. Are you still in Duluth and are you going to be watching the Anderson tonight?
@@vibewithmike You have no clue how much your email meant plus meeting you and your wife!!! I am watching the Anderson online but going to watch a saltie called the Maria G go thru the locks in person! Plus the Presque Isle is coming thru now!
Great question. How deep / wide / long ship canal: The canals 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/)
Afternoon mike from Easton. Awesome video as always. You always take care of all the boat friends. I have said it many times, the JRB sure looks longer than 1004. What a hard-working lady of the lakes. Peace!!
Scott, I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. There’s nothing like catching the JRB and I wanted to show it in a new perspective. It’s a beast of a ship.
Hi Mike just catching up Another awsome video ! That is the first time I seen a ship come in the other entrance and the land around it There is a lot of drift wood logs on the beach You could build a kon tike raft and sail it to the soo ! Looking forward for more Have a great day !
Hey Mike! Im doing great, but my back do its best to ruin my day! Im started to prepare my van for a 5000 km. trip to northern part of Norway in july, but you know, Im not young anymore. 😉 Nice ship, by the way.
@@vibewithmike Thanks Mike. Yeah, Norway is maybe a small country, but we have tons of nice scenery, especially along our coast. I was raised outside Tromsø, and got a bit spolied with the spesial light up north. Midnight sun in summertime, and northern light at wintertime. You should definately take a trip over to Norway.
Hey, that’s wonderful to hear that you will be spending some time in Duluth. I hope you were able to see some of the big ships go through. Duluth in the summer is really magical. Really good weather and being by Lake Superior it makes it so much fun. Thank you for taking time out of your day to watch the video and to drop a comment, my friend.
My friend in Louisiana. Anytime our Boat, friends in Louisiana bring up their location. I think of the best gumbo and crawfish. Excellent food in Louisiana. And there’s some ships down there too.
THE JRB!!!! She's ALIVE!!! She gave us a scare last fall, but oh how wonderful it is to see her back in the grind!!! Missed her salute, but just knowing she is back to work is my thrill today!! Thanks, Mike!! What a thrill!! Just home from Nashville, TN had to put my dad in hospice.....waiting for the dreaded call.....😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Hey Mike and all the GLOBAL BOAT FRIEND NATION, from a chilly Minneapolis. Visiting wifefy’s sister and hubby as she has been having some health issues. Looks like a nice day in the Dtown, and seeing a Kfooter coming in the Superior side is a treat. The wind really picked up out of the north, so I bet it was cold there as well. That is one beast of a ship, and will have a large load of slingshot ammo for sure….. Great video as always Mike, as you are Bringing the Thunder My Friend!!!!😮
My main man in Minneapolis! How are you my friend? There’s gonna be a lot of action there in the Twin Cities over the next few days. You have the Timberwolves in the playoffs, the Twins are playing, good times. It’s also good times when we see this awesome ship come through. I’m so excited to give you some interesting news and fun news at the same time. There’s going to be some good things happening with these ships and this channel.
@chucke4294 thank you very much, it feels like yesterday and then all of a sudden we have all of the people were around the world watching. These ships are absolutely fantastic and I think all of them are loved by all of us.
It is always exciting and wonderful to see one of these enormous ships come through the channel, and to see beautiful Lake Superior. Yesterday we had a few snow flurries in Western New York, too. It’s never safe to pack away the winter jacket and gloves in April! Hopefully by May these items can go in the back of the closet. The fog video from England was very interesting! My late dad spent some time in England and spoke of seeing what he called “pea soup fog” over there (thusly named because of its thickness). I think that this fog was of that variety!
That’s exactly right I’ve heard you see fog in England. Our friend that sent that video proves that for sure regarding a snowflakes Janet, someone told me never put the snow shovel or the jackets away until 4 July if you live in Minnesota 😆
@@vibewithmike The latest that I ever recall seeing falling snow was in early May, but as a child I remember still seeing some residual ice chunks in Lake Erie in early June (though this year was a fairly mild winter, so we won’t be seeing that). Our daughter’s family just moved further south, and winter there will seem very odd to them. Their winter jackets won’t get much use any more.
@janetryan9779 years ago, I believe we received some snow and very late April or early May as well. I think the temperature will be changing though for us for the better next week in Duluth.
Doug, I’m grateful that you took time out of your Saturday to watch this ship video. It’s one of the most amazing ships on the great lakes. It’s an honor to see it go by every time. Thanks again for the comment.⛴️⛴️⛴️👍👍👍👍
This was a fun ship to record. I remember this video. Did you see the video from me on the boat the other day? ruclips.net/video/__rzf7P5hLE/видео.htmlsi=IdAFBPc9AbZcnMri
I’ll be forever grateful to James R. Barker. Through a video of her I discovered Duluth and everything the city has to offer: the port, the history. I would have probably never landed on your Channel. She’s so majestic and massive. Great and very insightful video. I loved the tour you offered and seeing finally the superior entry cam was so cool. I often asked myself where they were located! Yours are always quality contents. Thanks, Mike! Have a great day! 🇮🇹🗻⛰️-> 🇺🇸🌊🚢 👋🏻
I too am forever grateful for the James R Barker that you were able to find these ships on the Great Lakes and then this channel. I always have a big smile when I see a comment from you because I think about life in Italy and what the weather might be and the beautiful scenery that you are viewing. You live in such an incredible place. Thanks again for taking time off your day to write this comment and to watch another ship video. It means a lot!

@@vibewithmike your kindness and excitement are moving and contagious, Mike! We live more or less at the same latitude but the climate can be so different. I always love to watch your videos also for the weather and you never forget to deliver us infos about it - and I am really grateful for that since I am also fond of meteorology. This is one of the thousand things that make your channel a great channel. Today we have a pretty chilling 3kt breeze and a storm is now approaching, hoping for some very much needed rain. Thank you again, Mike! My tiny Julie says "hi"! 🛳 🇮🇹-> 🇺🇸 👋

Thanks to Clyde for his video 👍And thanks, Mike, for pulling out the gloves and heavy coat to film the JRB for us. She’s a beautiful beast indeed! Interesting to have the last loading location for the Fitz pointed out too. Have a nice weekend 🚢
Thank you so much for the comment. Yes, thank you so much to our Boat friend, Clyde, for that wonderful video out of the United Kingdom on that ship.⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️
That is some great information. I never knew this and I’m sure many other people had no idea either. It must’ve been so cool being inside of that ship. What was your fondest memory being on it?
Deb, you are the best, you so support this channel and you’re a true Boat Friend. I hope you’re having a fantastic Saturday. I’m keeping my eye out for some of these ocean going ships. I can’t wait to see one of them come in over the next few days. Keep your eye out for the blue boat friends beacon tonight
Thomas! Oh my goodness! You are awesome! Thank you so much for supporting this channel. It really means a lot. It really does! I really like being out here with the ships and recording them for everybody. I always think about the people that would love to be here watching the ships go in, so that’s why I record them. It really gives me a sense of relaxation, and it takes my mind off of watching these wonderful ships. Again, thank you so much for supporting the channel and being an awesome Boat friend.
@@vibewithmike Hey Mike no problem your the one out there freezing your butt off to show all the ships while we sit in our warm houses watching you.I appreciate that.
Winter coats are always a fashion accesory in Duluth. I remember taking my mother to games at Wade Stadium back in the '90's. We always brought our winter coats with us.
Corporal! Great hearing from you. I’ve been told many times now that I should not put my winter clothes away until the Fourth of July. Is that for real? And a way I know it seems like a joke but maybe it is for real? Thanks again for watching the ship video.
@@vibewithmike No, not a joke. I remember leaving Wade Stadium in August and watching heavy fog roll in between the CN docks. I remember many trips to Silver Bay to load pellets and it was always so cold no matter what time of year. We used to call it Shiver Bay. I remember leaving Taconite Harbor on a windy July afternoon and seeing a few snowflakes.
@corporaldigbygeste7640 corporal, it’s like I was able to go back in time with you and I felt like I was there the way you described everything. Also, I hope I never am able to tell the story of snowflakes in July.😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍❄️❄️❄️❄️⛴️⛴️⛴️

Hi Mike from Michigan glad to see you back doing what you, Thank you so much for
I get no bigger thrill than being able to record these beautiful ships and show them to people that don’t have the ability to be in Duluth or on Lake superior to see these majestic ships
Hi Mike, glad to see you! Sorry but my favorite great lakes ship is and will be... The Arthur M Anderson!!! Great video today, Mike!!!!
I’m happy you enjoyed the video, there’s nothing like the Arthur M Anderson or the JRB ship
Precision Shiphandling. No room for error.
The captain is a true professional on the ship
I realize that it's cheaper and more efficient (and less damaging perhaps?) and perhaps even safer to not have a superstructure on the front of a laker, as in the older, traditional designs. But this ship and those after it look too much like ocean-going container ships. That unique distinctiveness is sorely missed by me, at least.
Excellent comment and perspective Marv, this is great, thank you so much. Love this.
Love the Arthur M Anderson too
How could you go wrong with either ship, they are so awesome
@@vibewithmike And the Alpena! I couldn't remember the name earlier.

Love the footers!! JRB is one of the best!!! Hope you’re having a great weekend Mike!
Doug, nothing like watching one of these huge ships go by
I just love coming to your channel, It makes me feel like I am at home. I love watching these videos. What is done with these Iron ore pellets? I guess I could google it. LOL.

Hey mike will the Anderson be coming in tonight if so what time.
If this Great Lakes Freighter operates on on the Great Lakes, why would have have "Wilmington Delaware" as its home port? I don't know a lot about shipping
Extremely excellent question. First, let me thank you for taking time out of your Thursday to watch this video and also drop a comment. This definitely will help people learn. This is such a great question. I did some research. Take a look at this article. It has many years ago but it’s still applies today. It’s a place to pay lower taxes if you register your ship there. www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1980/08/15/the-fleet-from-delaware/14beeb17-7ff6-40a3-bb7e-0fdcacd70672/#
Thanks Mike for another great video as always this never gets old buddy keep them coming I'll definitely be watching from Brantford ontario canada cheers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The barker is such a powerful shit. I could watch that one every day.
Hello Mike and boat friends greetings from the Netherlands 🇱🇺🛳️
Hey my friend from the Netherlands! I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. It’s always great hearing from you. Send me a video from the Netherlands of a ship.🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
Hey Mike. One of your better video's. Superior has a lonely feeling about it. I only wish the Barker would have howled. Thanks. Chicago, mostly clear skies, 46 degrees, 4-22-24. 03:05 hours
Tim, I really appreciate you saying this. What a delightful comment. It really really brought a smile to my face all the best to you, brother. I hope you have a fantastic Monday.
Thanks for bringing the boats to us. One of these days I'll get a picture of a ship out on the Cook Inlet. Hopefully with Mount Redoubt in the background. 52 degrees here in ALASKA. Our Seagulls returned March 24th, a sign of spring here. Still no Robin's.
Hey friend, I hope all is well there in Alaska. Those seagulls are making a return here in Duluth. They didn’t really go too far but now they’re really gonna come back because of all the food the tourists throw to them. I’ve noticed that in Duluth.
Thanks Mike - love this view of Superior
I thought people would find it interesting. The ship is absolutely beautiful and there was some really cool things to show during the video today.
Interesting! I dont think I have seen this dock before! This marker is new and those fire things in the water is new to me too! You are right bro, that is a beautiful spot! JRB is always very impressive to behold! Those iron ore pellets almost look like imperfect buckshot haha! Hope you have a fantastic Sunday Mike! Take care and God bless! 🙂🚢🛳
This ship entry is only a few miles away from the Duluth Bridge that we look at all the time. It’s really interesting to have a second entry. Johan, check this out man, I think you’ll find it. Interesting as it explains this area that I was standing at much better. www.johnweeks.com/river_stlouis/pages/stlL01.html
Thanks for driving all the way to Wisconsin! Miss the "bark", but no bridge to salute...
The bark was tamed today, but it still was a beast coming through right by us on the water. It was awesome to record this and upload today for everybody.
Love the channel, wondering why they don't use tugboat to help. Thinking east coast Bridge. Just in case.
I love the tugboats too, Jim. The thing I really like about them is as they go by you can hear the powerful engine rumbling.
Like the Superior Entry . I've been out of the loop lately . Has the Paul R . left winter layup ? Not seeing any vids from anyone .
Don, great hearing from you, brother. No, great question. The PRT is still sitting at the dock and it has not moved. There’s been a lot of speculation that it’s going to be loading and departing Duluth very soon. But I haven’t seen any movement. When I do. I plan on recording it.⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️
Great video Mike. Can't wait for your coming announcement . Cool here in Central Iowa 48deg. with a north wind.
I’m glad that you enjoyed this awesome ship. It’s gonna start warming up in Duluth soon.
Hi Mike❤ our family is coming up there Memorial Day weekend, so excited !! I hope we see you😊
Mary, there should be good weather in Duluth for you on memorial day and ships too
The JRB is one of my fave ships out on the Lake. Just love to see her every time she ships into Duluth. Now i’m vibin’ Mike!!!
Hey, thanks friend, I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. Did you see this ship video? ⚓️Vertical Challenge in Duluth: Giant Ship Nearly Grazes Bridge!

Mike you mentioned snow. My daughter lives in Southgate Michigan she was cutting her grass today and saw snow flakes.
Now that is a site that I would love to show. And that does happen in the Midwest where you can catch that situation where the snow comes down, unbelievable.
We occasionally go to Hilton Head South Carolina sitting on the beach on a hot summer day !
We watch large container ships come out of what seems like a mirage heading into the port of Savannah !
It’s nice to pan with binoculars and see whats coming along with other interesting things as well ! 😁
Hey friend! Thank you so much for the comment. I’ve heard many people talk to me about Hilton head South Carolina. I have to get there someday. I heard the beaches are great there. I hope you subscribe (it’s free) and come back to my channel to watch more ship videos moving forward. It’s all about having fun with the ships!👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
Love the JRB, always like the 1000 footers. Thanks.
Ellen, it’s my absolute pleasure recording this ship for you. It’s an amazing vessel. I love it every time I see it.⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️
Favorite ship is the Sykes, favorite whistle is the Barker with the Munson a close second.
Absolutely, the Sykes is a stunning vessel. The captain is fantastic. She knows exactly what she’s doing out there.
Missed it live again! Thanks for all you do. It is going to be >90 all week. Kill me.
No worries friend, I will take some of that heat if you want to send it over to me 🤣 it was really fun recording this ship. Every chance I get to record it I always want to get it done so I can show everybody that loves it here on RUclips.
I don’t believe you done a Superior video before so this was a real treat. We need to do this more often. You don’t get the big crowds and the salutes we all like but you get some beautiful open water and pretty scenery. This was very enjoyable.
It’s so amazing recording the ships at the superior entry. You get a great video because they move so slow by you. I did do a few videos before at the same location. Here’s one of my favorites. m.ruclips.net/video/LXG6jGh9sW8/видео.html
It is a beauty but my favorite is and always be Arthur M Anderson♥️♥️
The Anderson is such a beautiful and historic ship. We both know that’s a crown jewel on the Great Lakes.
Favorite ship
It’s a beautiful and powerful ship. I think it’s definitely the number one shipped to most that love Great Lakes shipping with the current ships out there.
Good afternoon, Mike and Boat Friends! Another great video. Ahoy!
Hey Boat friend! Wonderful hearing from you I hope you’re having a fantastic Saturday and thank you for watching the ship and for the comment
Howdy Mike,have a great weekend my friend!!!❤😊
Lumpy, I always get a smile when I see a comment from you. I hope your Saturday is going fantastic. This was so fun to record the ship today. God bless you and your family.
I’m in the UK, and this my favourite ship on the lakes
It’s an awesome ship. What did you think about seeing that port there in the United Kingdom? Right in your neck of the woods.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Watching after as I have been enjoying the Soo! Love the JRB but add to the list the THE Queen and the Anderson!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Lauren, hope you’re doing great. It was fantastic meeting you the other day. Are you still in Duluth and are you going to be watching the Anderson tonight?
@@vibewithmike You have no clue how much your email meant plus meeting you and your wife!!! I am watching the Anderson online but going to watch a saltie called the Maria G go thru the locks in person! Plus the Presque Isle is coming thru now!
Nope! No invitation,,, Mike Must have been lost in the mail.
We better bring a bunch of fish so we get the invite next time
@@vibewithmike LOL agrees.
@67wildwolf 👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️
Does she have the same captain? He usually loves to blast everybody everywhere
I’m not sure if it’s the same captain. I know that many times most ships don’t blast their horns when they come through the superior entry.
Hi Mike. Fun to see the Superior entry and even funner to see the JRB!
I think it’s peoples favorite ship on the Great Lakes
I love the shots you took in this video. Lots to see. Loved it. I’m so excited to see a video from you.
It’s always a pleasure watching this specific ship arrive from Lake superior
How deep are the waters around Duluth. Canal.......
Great question. How deep / wide / long ship canal:
The canals 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/)
Hey Mike are you gonna do a video on the Jamno and Jessica B when they come into Duluth whether that’ll be tomorrow night or sometime Monday?
Absolutely, that is my plan. I will be doing a video if they come through at normal hours.
@@vibewithmikeSalties always appear huge to me. And I love cranes they often sport.
Afternoon mike from Easton. Awesome video as always. You always take care of all the boat friends. I have said it many times, the JRB sure looks longer than 1004. What a hard-working lady of the lakes. Peace!!
Scott, I’m glad that you enjoyed the video. There’s nothing like catching the JRB and I wanted to show it in a new perspective. It’s a beast of a ship.
Hi Mike just catching up
Another awsome video !
That is the first time I seen a ship come in the other entrance and the land around it
There is a lot of drift wood logs on the beach
You could build a kon tike raft and sail it to the soo !
Looking forward for more
Have a great day !
I was wondering where you were at Mike good to see your back
I’m back with the ships and we are going to have a lot of fun. I promise you that.
Hey Mike! Im doing great, but my back do its best to ruin my day! Im started to prepare my van for a 5000 km. trip to northern part of Norway in july, but you know, Im not young anymore. 😉 Nice ship, by the way.
That’ll be a beautiful time in Norway! I have to get there someday. I just have to get there. What a beautiful location and country.
@@vibewithmike Thanks Mike. Yeah, Norway is maybe a small country, but we have tons of nice scenery, especially along our coast. I was raised outside Tromsø, and got a bit spolied with the spesial light up north. Midnight sun in summertime, and northern light at wintertime. You should definately take a trip over to Norway.
@user-kk3hz6oc3z you are going to have a great time there
Awesome ship am going to Duluth this summer.
Hey, that’s wonderful to hear that you will be spending some time in Duluth. I hope you were able to see some of the big ships go through. Duluth in the summer is really magical. Really good weather and being by Lake Superior it makes it so much fun. Thank you for taking time out of your day to watch the video and to drop a comment, my friend.
Definitely my favorite ship! 👍🚢🙂
This ship is definitely at the top of most peoples list when it comes to Great Lakes ships
JRB is a great ship! Hope to see her in July.
Stephen! How’s it going man! There’s a look at the boat for you to check out, brother. ruclips.net/video/vQdMUOjEnY0/видео.htmlsi=7uOz_LSvNRZpBgFP
😉 04 - 20 - 2024 👋 hello Mike and boat friends ⚓️
Laura! Wonderful hearing from you how are you? How was your Saturday so far?⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️
Hi Mike. Great video. Question-- Is this ship the longest that you have shown us? It was so massive, I was just wondering.
Great question, here’s the largest ship on the Great Lakes right here. m.ruclips.net/video/QcCaMPezeFQ/видео.html
Thanks Mike for the info.
@katherinekubeldzis7902 👍⛴️
Raining and 52° in Bossier City Louisiana
My friend in Louisiana. Anytime our Boat, friends in Louisiana bring up their location. I think of the best gumbo and crawfish. Excellent food in Louisiana. And there’s some ships down there too.
Thank you Mike. It was interesting to see that the gulls went out to meet the JRB. Have watched them follow the ships as they leave.
I’m going to be doing a lot of really cool videos very soon. I can’t wait to show you some of the surprises with the ships.
@@vibewithmike Look forward to it.
@dashasl2582 it’s going to be a fun summer with the ships
THE JRB!!!! She's ALIVE!!! She gave us a scare last fall, but oh how wonderful it is to see her back in the grind!!! Missed her salute, but just knowing she is back to work is my thrill today!! Thanks, Mike!! What a thrill!! Just home from Nashville, TN had to put my dad in hospice.....waiting for the dreaded call.....😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The ships can come second in this comment. All the prayers to you, your family, and especially your father! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@vibewithmike Thank you, Mike....I feel the prayers.☺
@elizabethw.8561 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Thanks Mike. Yup! We love the JRB!😊👍❤️👏
It snowed last night for a while. That's why I don't put my jacket away until June.
Ralphy, great hearing from you man! I think it was you that told me a long time ago not to put the gloves away until the Fourth of July!😂😂😂😂😂😂⛴️⛴️👍👍
@@vibewithmike until mother nature gets back on her bipolar meds? Be prepared for anything.
@ralphyboy3636 it’s definitely off the meds now
@@vibewithmike I can't believe Al Gore lied to us all... he promised global warming.
Hey Mike and all the GLOBAL BOAT FRIEND NATION, from a chilly Minneapolis. Visiting wifefy’s sister and hubby as she has been having some health issues. Looks like a nice day in the Dtown, and seeing a Kfooter coming in the Superior side is a treat. The wind really picked up out of the north, so I bet it was cold there as well. That is one beast of a ship, and will have a large load of slingshot ammo for sure….. Great video as always Mike, as you are Bringing the Thunder My Friend!!!!😮
My main man in Minneapolis! How are you my friend? There’s gonna be a lot of action there in the Twin Cities over the next few days. You have the Timberwolves in the playoffs, the Twins are playing, good times. It’s also good times when we see this awesome ship come through. I’m so excited to give you some interesting news and fun news at the same time. There’s going to be some good things happening with these ships and this channel.
I am ready big fella, BRING THE THUNDER!
Also, congrats on over 26K subscribers. That is a great accomplishment, and is a testament to your hard work and talent. Awesome!!!
@chucke4294 thank you very much, it feels like yesterday and then all of a sudden we have all of the people were around the world watching. These ships are absolutely fantastic and I think all of them are loved by all of us.
@chucke4294 super powerful ship
It is the alpha waves that relax us
Possibly could be
It is always exciting and wonderful to see one of these enormous ships come through the channel, and to see beautiful Lake Superior.
Yesterday we had a few snow flurries in Western New York, too. It’s never safe to pack away the winter jacket and gloves in April! Hopefully by May these items can go in the back of the closet. The fog video from England was very interesting! My late dad spent some time in England and spoke of seeing what he called “pea soup fog” over there (thusly named because of its thickness). I think that this fog was of that variety!
That’s exactly right I’ve heard you see fog in England. Our friend that sent that video proves that for sure regarding a snowflakes Janet, someone told me never put the snow shovel or the jackets away until 4 July if you live in Minnesota 😆
@@vibewithmike
The latest that I ever recall seeing falling snow was in early May, but as a child I remember still seeing some residual ice chunks in Lake Erie in early June (though this year was a fairly mild winter, so we won’t be seeing that).
Our daughter’s family just moved further south, and winter there will seem very odd to them. Their winter jackets won’t get much use any more.
@janetryan9779 years ago, I believe we received some snow and very late April or early May as well. I think the temperature will be changing though for us for the better next week in Duluth.
@@vibewithmike
For us, too. Have a great week!
@janetryan9779 ⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️👍👍👍
Hi Mike, what a great vessel the James R Barker is, and a great day for videoing great vessels like this one.👍👍.
Thank you for stopping what you were doing during the day to watch a video and to leave a comment. God bless!
Awesome! Thanks!
Tom, this is definitely one of my favorite ships
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ed, I’m glad that you like this ship video brother
Thanks Mike!
Doug, I’m grateful that you took time out of your Saturday to watch this ship video. It’s one of the most amazing ships on the great lakes. It’s an honor to see it go by every time. Thanks again for the comment.⛴️⛴️⛴️👍👍👍👍
Thanks Mike!
Absolutely, my pleasure recording this enormous ship today. It was a true spectacle.
How grand to see a ship enter to load or unload. Thanks, Mike!
These ships are so magnificent and beautiful, Robin, thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment tonight, my friend
Bummer no horn
That would’ve been cool, but just seeing the ship made me happy
Looking good.
Wally, it was fun getting out there to record this big ship
Lovely
This was a fun ship to record. I remember this video. Did you see the video from me on the boat the other day? ruclips.net/video/__rzf7P5hLE/видео.htmlsi=IdAFBPc9AbZcnMri
I’ll be forever grateful to James R. Barker. Through a video of her I discovered Duluth and everything the city has to offer: the port, the history. I would have probably never landed on your Channel. She’s so majestic and massive.
Great and very insightful video. I loved the tour you offered and seeing finally the superior entry cam was so cool. I often asked myself where they were located!
Yours are always quality contents. Thanks, Mike! Have a great day!
🇮🇹🗻⛰️-> 🇺🇸🌊🚢 👋🏻
I too am forever grateful for the James R Barker that you were able to find these ships on the Great Lakes and then this channel. I always have a big smile when I see a comment from you because I think about life in Italy and what the weather might be and the beautiful scenery that you are viewing. You live in such an incredible place. Thanks again for taking time off your day to write this comment and to watch another ship video. It means a lot! Hey, I forgot to ask what’s the name of that cool dog in your photo? 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪👍👍👍👍👍👍⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️👋👋👋👋👋
@@vibewithmike your kindness and excitement are moving and contagious, Mike! We live more or less at the same latitude but the climate can be so different. I always love to watch your videos also for the weather and you never forget to deliver us infos about it - and I am really grateful for that since I am also fond of meteorology. This is one of the thousand things that make your channel a great channel. Today we have a pretty chilling 3kt breeze and a storm is now approaching, hoping for some very much needed rain. Thank you again, Mike! My tiny Julie says "hi"! 🛳

Hey mike
Hey friend! I hope you’re having a wonderful Saturday
Thanks to Clyde for his video 👍And thanks, Mike, for pulling out the gloves and heavy coat to film the JRB for us. She’s a beautiful beast indeed! Interesting to have the last loading location for the Fitz pointed out too. Have a nice weekend 🚢
Thank you so much for the comment. Yes, thank you so much to our Boat friend, Clyde, for that wonderful video out of the United Kingdom on that ship.⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️
Another great one mike thank you
I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. The James R. Barker is probably the coolest ship on the Great Lakes to many👋👋⛴️⛴️⛴️⛴️
Hi Mike
This is Hull 905 the first one. I was in the inter bottoms and almost every place you can think of.
Thanks again Mike
That is some great information. I never knew this and I’m sure many other people had no idea either. It must’ve been so cool being inside of that ship. What was your fondest memory being on it?
Thanks!
Deb, you are the best, you so support this channel and you’re a true Boat Friend. I hope you’re having a fantastic Saturday. I’m keeping my eye out for some of these ocean going ships. I can’t wait to see one of them come in over the next few days. Keep your eye out for the blue boat friends beacon tonight
@@vibewithmike 😳
I'm always fascinated to watch the "footers" make the pivot and turn. What skill!!!
There’s nothing like watching the James R Barker, that’s 1000 footer everybody wants to watch
Outbound, must make turn and instantly be steady.
@alcapone7319 these captains on the Great Lakes know how to steer ship. I wonder how they are with a car?
@@vibewithmike They make their wives drive.
@alcapone7319 I could see that!
So glad I caught this one! Fun to see it in a diferent location. Thanks!
There’s no way I could miss the JRP on a Saturday morning to record it for everybody. It’s such a great ship.
Thanks!
Thomas! Oh my goodness! You are awesome! Thank you so much for supporting this channel. It really means a lot. It really does! I really like being out here with the ships and recording them for everybody. I always think about the people that would love to be here watching the ships go in, so that’s why I record them. It really gives me a sense of relaxation, and it takes my mind off of watching these wonderful ships. Again, thank you so much for supporting the channel and being an awesome Boat friend.
@@vibewithmike Hey Mike no problem your the one out there freezing your butt off to show all the ships while we sit in our warm houses watching you.I appreciate that.
@thomasrussojr4603 I can’t thank you enough. I really appreciate you, brother.
Hi Mike. another great job. Thank you.
Dennis, I’m truly thrilled that you enjoyed this shit video. It was wonderful seeing this ship today and I was able to record it for everybody.
Thank you Mike! Always love your videos, keep then coming. Sunny and 80 today in Reno.
I can just imagine myself right now in Reno next to all the cacti looking at the beautiful desert
@@vibewithmike we are in the high desert, no cacti up here, mostly sage brush. But the land has it's own beauty
@westsparks6844 that’s right, lots of tumbleweed, I’ll take it though
Winter coats are always a fashion accesory in Duluth. I remember taking my mother to games at Wade Stadium back in the '90's. We always brought our winter coats with us.
Corporal! Great hearing from you. I’ve been told many times now that I should not put my winter clothes away until the Fourth of July. Is that for real? And a way I know it seems like a joke but maybe it is for real? Thanks again for watching the ship video.
@@vibewithmike No, not a joke. I remember leaving Wade Stadium in August and watching heavy fog roll in between the CN docks. I remember many trips to Silver Bay to load pellets and it was always so cold no matter what time of year. We used to call it Shiver Bay. I remember leaving Taconite Harbor on a windy July afternoon and seeing a few snowflakes.
@corporaldigbygeste7640 corporal, it’s like I was able to go back in time with you and I felt like I was there the way you described everything. Also, I hope I never am able to tell the story of snowflakes in July.😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍❄️❄️❄️❄️⛴️⛴️⛴️
