Description
James R. Barker passes the North Pier Light as she exits the Duluth Ship Canal on her way out to Lake Superior in Duluth, Minnesota.
The James R. Barker, built in 1976, was the third of the American super-carriers to be made and the first one to be built entirely on the Great Lakes. She is 1004 feet long, 105 feet wide, 50 feet high, and has a 27-foot draft. She is owned and operated by Interlake Shipping Company and named after Interlake’s Chairman of the Board. The Barker restricted to the upper four Great Lakes - Superior, Michigan, Huron, and Ontario, is too large to travel through the Welland Canal. The James R. Barker is the sister ship of the Mesabi Miner.
