James R Barker christening marks Great Lakes ship milestone
The 1008 foot James R Barker, largest ship built entirely on the Great Lakes, was christened as Mrs Kaye Barker bursts a champagne bottle against the hull during ceremonies. Built at Am Ship Division in Lorain for Pickands Mathe & Co., the vessel surpasses ore carrier sizes and carries about 58 009 gross tons of ore pellets or 52 000 net tons of coal. High winds delayed its maiden voyage, now set for midnight departure, with only five feet clearance at Sankt Ste Marie Canal locks.
