You can see the ship name there.
Is 766ft, about the biggest one that comes in here. Has stern thrusters and bow thrusters so can make the turns in the river channel. (that propeller looking symbol on the side there is to indicate presents and location of the bow thruster).

Yah, THe Barker Bark (as some ship watchers call it) is remarkable for how loud and how low of a tone the horn is. That is from the James R Barker (1976, 1004ft). SOmewhere I saw the horn is acatually two horns
The Best and Loudest Boat Horn on the Great Lakes - James R Barker #shorts - YouTube.
I have not expereinced it.
My pic is of the Kaye E Barker (1952, 766ft) comming into GRand Haven here.
And that is about as large of a ship that can make it thru the turns in the river channel here.
ANd there is a third Barker ship, Mark W Barker (2022, 639ft).

Had a great time at grandson 3yo birthday party.
At first he was shy about everybody looking at him while we all were singing Happy Birthday.
I noticed that I could step behind him and get a shot to document everyone there (and they all looking that direction), so I did.
But later, looking at the other g'mas vidio, I see that his reaction to it all was quite significant.
At first he was quite shy, but then he was looking at individual persons, and look at the cake, and then look at more of each individual person. He made so many happy expressions.
I found it quite moving to see him so happy.
I took snagged screen shots from gma vidio and added them around my shot. Purposly Made the happy-face-screen-shots the attention point, and my photo just for supplemetary documentation.
My cut-n-paste (just PaintDotNet) is kinda crude (I know, I should learn more about the Affinity package I have.) but I really like this composite for the remeberance and the significance of the event.
On a minor note: Some of you may recgonize Jay RedmanSIL on far left, and Justin RedmanSon on far right.http://webpages.charter.net/ddvrnr/GS850_1100_Emblems.jpg

Redirected here from another thread for incorrect pics.
For my prior corporate sins, I now work in the community recycling/reuse sector in NZ. One of the sites rents space and gifts materials to upcyclers, repairers and artists. This the work of one of the artists.

Out early enough that catwalk lights still on, and beacon lights still flashing (takes some effort to catch both on at same time).
Two pics this morning.
Less than a minute apart, and maybe 5 steps apart.
32degF, quite windy, sleet-snow.
It was a short walk this morning.
