James R Barker arrived Duluth 12/28/2017 - 4X speed

James R Barker arrived Duluth this morning to load iron pellets. The Barker had been stuck in ice on the St Mary's River for a bit.

The Barker's horn was not working, so I added it from a previous arrival. (love that horn)

Boats backup!

The boats are backed up now due to harbor ice and slow loading due to extreme cold.  Not unusual for an early onset of January weather.
