The Philip R. Clarke was the last ship through the Soo Locks for the 2023-2024 navigation season.
This video shows the ship's transit through the Soo Locks (turn sound on for ice breaking and salute).

Props for that horn! That must be the jazziest salute I've ever heard. I salute you Captain 🌹⚓

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.

That salute sounds like the beginning of “Jaws.”😊

That was neat!! Where you were standing is that a spot that anybody can stand when you asked for the salute? I want to take my family up there and that is a great view. Thanks.

No, that spot is not open to the public.

This was taken from the secure part of the Soo Locks facility. However, the last Friday of every June we host Engineers Day and allow the public to cross the locks. This year it will be held on June 28.

I'd guess sailing in fresh water, not salt water is why the great lake freighters have lived so long.

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