We all miss Captain Newland's beautiful, MASSIVE, Master's salute. I imagine every captain on the Great Lakes knows that Captain Newland is master of his ship. I suppose it is appropriate to not copy Captain Newland's Master salute. We will all be glad when he returns.

@andrewmccune3443 10 ай бұрын

As to the two different horn sounds, they are perfectly normal except that the high pitched horn vibrates before the low pitched horn. The reason is that the low pitched horn takes more air and a little longer time before it starts to vibrate. It makes an interesting tone, but nothing wrong with it. The two tones could easily be synchronized mechanically or electronically, but it would ruin that unique, magnificent sound.

@PaulScinocca 10 ай бұрын

What I was referring to was normally the Barker salute is much much longer, it generally times in at 65 seconds.

@eulero75 6 ай бұрын

@@PaulScinoccathat’s because you are referring to the master salute, that is long-long-long-short-short, whilst in this occasion they performed the ordinary salute, that is long-short-short. The bridge answers accordingly.

As an intermittent viewer I was unable to ascertain what was wrong with this vessel. Would you care to enlighten me? Also, are you informed enough to explain the unusual bow shape?

@PaulScinocca 11 ай бұрын

The salute is normally a long drawn out Master Salute, this was a "short" Captains salute, signifying the normal Captain was not on the ship. The Round bow, is designed for more cargo space on the ship. Since these are "lakers" and the travel distance is not great, the efficiency lost on the bow is made up for with the profit of more cargo capacity. (in a nutshell explanation)
