I had been watching the Interlake Steamship Company Kaye E Barker all day in the marine traffic app, knowing they were unloading at the coal dock. I was hoping they would stay there long enough for me to get off work and head downtown before they left. It was so nice of them to wait for me to get the drone up before they started pulling out of the Rouge... I'm totally kidding, but I couldn't have planned it any better. It was really cool to see the ship reverse and use the bow thrusters to maintain course into the Detroit River. They then spun the ship starboard and would head upriver to do a 180 turn to head south to load more coal from the Sandusky Coal Dock. I'm pretty happy to catch my first laker of the season!
Barker Reservoir near Nederland, Colorado fills up and that excess water is passes into its spillway as seen in photo.
Info: 'In spring and early summer, Barker Reservoir fills due to snow-melt runoff. Once the reservoir water surface reaches the Barker Dam spillway crest, any additional water flows over the spillway.
Barker Reservoir is a water supply reservoir that provides drinking water for the city of Boulder, and it is not a flood control facility.'

This mansion in Michigan City, Indiana was built by John Barker Sr. (1814-1878) in 1858. Barker had made a fortune building freight cars for the railroad.

The house-
"Barker House is a historic home located at Edenton, Chowan County, North Carolina. The original house was built about 1782, and expanded during the 19th century. It is a 2+1⁄2-story frame dwelling with Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival style design elements. It sits on a brick foundation and has at both ends a pair of single-shoulder exterior chimneys. The front facade features a full-length, two-tier porch carried on superimposed fluted pillars under a shed roof.
The house commemorates the life of Penelope Barker of Edenton who organized 51 ladies to sign a petition to King George III saying NO to taxation on tea and cloth. Unlike the tea party at Boston, the women at Edenton not only signed their names to the petition but sent it to the King and caused British newspapers to decry the first political demonstration by women in North America.
The Barker House serves as the Welcome Center for Edenton. It is owned, preserved and opened seven days a week (five in the winter) by the Edenton Historical Commission and complements several sites of Historic Edenton. Their other historic sites open for tour include the James Iredell House (home of George Washington's youngest appointee to the first US Supreme Court), the Roanoke River Lighthouse, Chowan County Courthouse (this 1767 courthouse is the oldest in-use courthouse in the country), the Cupola House and St. Paul's Church.
The Barker House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
Penelope -
Penelope (Padgett) Hodgson Craven Barker, commonly known as Penelope Barker (June 17, 1728 – 1796), was an activist who, in the lead-up to the American Revolution, organized a boycott of British goods in 1774 orchestrated by a group of women known as the Edenton Tea Party. It was the "first recorded women's political demonstration in America".
By the time that she was seventeen years of age, she helped raise her sister's three children and married her sister's husband, John Hodgson, which began her life as a mother and planter. She married two more times to wealthy men, continuing to run plantations after their deaths. She gave birth to five children and was the stepmother to four children, all but two of whom had died by 1761. Stepson Thomas Hodgson died in 1772. Her only remaining child then was Betsy Barker, who lived to adulthood and married William Tunstall, a successful planter.
Dillard described her as "one of those lofty, intrepid, high-born women peculiarly fitted by nature to lead; fear formed no part of her composition. Her face bears the expression of sternness without harshness, which a cheap novelist would describe as hauteur. She was a brilliant conversationalist, and a society leader of her day." (Wikipedia)

This gentleman is a Barker for local Jeepneys in Bacolod City, Philippines.
The barker, or dispatcher, is anyone who constantly mans a loading zone or a tornohan and calls the attention of potential passengers. In contrast to the conductor, however, the barker is not associated with any one jeepney in particular, and all the finances a barker manages are the payments he gets from the driver.
