      It’s frozen with ice…..
      Some of the big rigs arrive with 40 dB levels during winter vs 100+dB in the summer months….depending on the thickness of ice covering the horn/s…

    I’ve been watching Ships go thru the Soo Locks for 63 years (all summer time & fall). First time to see one in freezing weather. I wish my Dad was here to see this 😃. He’s the reason I love “up North Mi “. We come from Lenawee Co down State . Thank You for posting ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Captain Scott Hein is an absolute beast with his Philip R. Clarke. He is a great ambassador for Great Lakes shipping. He never hesitates to let off a salute and play to the crowd in Duluth or at the Soo. His wife, Mary, is another awesome human being. I hope Philip R. Clarke is having a good offseason and the engineers at the Locks are keeping warm. Essayons!

    It's a close contest between the Clarke and the John G. Munson for the best "Jaws in near" cold horn on the Lakes.
    I think the tone on the Munson is just a tad lower in tone.

      It must be heading downstream b/c it was lowered in the lock, not raised.

      There are steam lines run across the gates to prevent ice buildup.
