In school, I hated studying history. It was always measured by wars and territory. Congress passed this act. America is the most wonderful country on the planet. Yawn!
Finally, in seminary, someone presented history in a way that made it come alive. The story of humanity is not about evolving designs in weapons, but in a flow of thought and human experience. Mistakes, ideas, cultures, and feelings. A single teacher surprised and motivated me. I learned more from studying history in seminary than I learned from any other discipline.
Now, I'm reading "A People's History of the United States," by Howard Zinn. Never thought I'd read a book by that title! I'm not into the narcisism of patriotism, and many accounts of American history have been whitewashed. But, once again, history is making sense for me. Zinn is filling in the blanks.
It's good to feel that again. And, to use history -- a topic I'd always hated -- to step away, on occasion, from my everyday tasks.

While the sun was setting, the fishermen in the vast water land (known in local language as Haor) were preparing to return to home. No matter how far we go, we shall all return home some day from where our journey started. That's part of circle of life.

Yeah, the spider is just creepy. It doesn't cast a web, it shoots out rope. Needless to say, I didn't like being near this guy for too long. I wouldn't say I have a fear of spiders, I just don't like them.

James R Barker
She's back . A serious Storm coming to the Western Lake Superior has forced The Footer James R Barker to seek shelter again. She was here May 1 2023 and just here beginning of Novembe 2024
The third thousand footer in the lakes fleet was built in 1976 by American Ship Building Co., Lorain, Ohio as Hull #905. She was the first 1000 footer built for the Interlake Steamship Co. and the first 1000 footer to be built entirely on the Lakes. Other firsts include a thousand footer having all accommodations located in a five story superstructure located at the stern, the model for the ten 1000 footers built after her. It is interesting to note that the original design called for her to be built with the traditional pilot house forward, and engine room at the stern.
Her keel was laid on October 14, 1974, float launched May 29, 1976, her sea trials took place on July 31st and Christened August 7, 1976 . She was built at a cost of more than $43 million under Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1970.
Power for the vessel is provided by two 8,000 bhp V-16 cylinder, four stroke cycle, single acting, turbocharged Colt-Pielstick PC2V diesel engines, built by Fairbanks Morse Engine Division of Colt Industries, Beloit, WI driving through a Falk reversing gear box to two Bird-Johnson controllable pitch, stainless steel, four bladed propellers seventeen feet, six inches in diameter.
Her rated service speed is 15.75 knots (18 mph). Other equipment includes a 1500 hp Bird-Johnson bow thruster. Rated load capacity is 59,000 gross tons of iron ore pellets and 52,000 net tons of coal at a draft of 28 feet. Her self-unloading rig has a 250 foot boom fed by a three row hopper/belt system discharging at a rate of 10,000 long tons of taconite pellets per hour and 6,000 net tons of coal per hour.
As a comparison of unloading rates, Interlake’s first bulk carrier, the 242’loa wooden steamer the V.H. Ketchum, built in 1874 at Marine City, Mich. and brought into the fleet in 1883, had a load capacity of 1700 tons of ore which took nearly twelve days to unload by wheel barrow.
The Barker’s deckhouse was built at AmShip’s Chicago yard and was transported in sections to Lorain on the deck of the steamer George D. Goble. The James R. Barker departed Cleveland August 8, 1976 on her maiden voyage.
While up bound October 27, 1986 on Lake Huron above Buoys 11 & 12, a high pressure fuel line on the starboard engine failed causing an engine room fire, which was extinguished by on-board fire fighting equipment. Fortunately no one was injured. On October 29 the Barker was lashed side-by-side to the thousand-foot William J. De Lancey and taken to Sturgeon Bay, Wis. arriving there November 2 for repairs.
