Queen Mary Horn Blast: Onboard Video

- The chest-rattling 6pm horn sounding aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. We were staying aboard as part of a cross-country road trip (and of course the QM was a natural fit for us). Even though we were ready for the intensity of the blast, having heard it several times a day for two days, we couldn't keep our hands from shaking when the horn sounded. An amazing experience!

When you are there in person it vibrates your guts like nothing you could ever imagine. I was facing the bow when it got me--felt almost like someone pushing me from behind!
Just imagine (since its serving as a hotel now) if this is the alarm to get up.
Valoric Starlight “GET THE HELL UP ITS TIME FOR SCHOOL”
It blows every 6 hours. 6 am, noon, 6 pm, midnight. Don’t ask how they sleep.
@@TheEmeraldMenOfficial Its the equivalent of an Angelus bell haha
Horn: GET THE HELL UP AND CLEAN THE HOUSE THEN GO TO SCHOOL THEN LOOK FOR A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It like br pbevbfbrvytjytyjtf
That's the sound you hear when Martian tripods come to wipe us all out.
A fellow war of the worlds fan huh?
Lmao im sitting on the queen mary ship deck while watching this. Can’t wait to get the shit scared out of me.
When I was there, I heard the horn blast with my own ears... god that made me go deaf for 2 hours.
Damm your lucky
When I was a kid, my dad and I was standing directly underneath the horn when it went off. We were not expecting it and it scared the heck out of us both.
Only one of those horns actually goes off. It's a Kockums Tyfon 575 which is the loudest ship horn ever made.
that scared the hell outta me
Dakota Rivera Howell I think i just shit my pants
I dare someone to put their phone on then put the volume max then watch this
I was a kid on the bridge about 18 years ago, and had zero warning. I cried 😂
Awesome video! That must be an amazing experience!
“In The wind, warm night the horn is startingly Pure and magical. Then from the North River another horn solo begins - the Queen Mary announcing her intentions. She is not on key; she is a half tone off. The trumpeter in the bandstand never flinches. The horns quarrel savagely, but no one minds having the imitation of travel injected into the pledge of love. “I leave,” sobs Mary. “ and I will pledge with mine,” sighs the trumpeter.” - E.B.White, “Here is New York”
Incredible...makes me want to go see her even more!
Yes her 3 original whistles were steam powered. Of the 2 you see in this video only 1 works and it has been converted to sound by air. The 3rd whistle which would have been mounted on the 2nd funnel (the mount can been seen a the :34 mark is aboard Queen Mary 2 and it too fires on air now. There is a great picture on the Queen Mary facebook page where you can see the steam pipes that fed the whistles.
RIP headphone users (me)
One day i will make it over there! Thanks for the amazing video rapidnadion :D
I remember when I went to this ship and we were on the top deck and the horn blasted so loud! I got scared and cried because I was little at the time.
I just realized this video was recorded on my birthday 😮
@ThePhantomFanatic It's amazing. We were so ready for it, and I *still* couldn't keep my hands from shaking when it went off. Fully involuntary; that's how much power the sound carried. One can only imagine what it would have sounded like with steam, and with both horns firing!
What's even crazier is that the Queen Mary originally had three steam-driven whistles (the third was located on the second smoke stack and is now aboard the Queen Mary 2). I'm pretty sure it would have been much louder in her sailing days! Today, the remaining two whistles are air-driven which makes for a slightly different sound.
@Shipwright1918 Thanks for the info! Please keep sharing what you know - these horns deserve to be talked about.
@MasterVideoStudios On the promenade and boat decks (topside), we saw one. We didn't mean to suggest they were belowdecks, or that there was an infestation.
Now that's a horn holy crap
@Rocky54167 They are steam horns, technically Tyfon steam sirens. Due to the fact the boilers were removed when she was converted into a floating hotel/restaurant/museum, there's no steam source left, hence why they use air now

@legoman8271 She's still very much afloat and is currently a hotel on Long Beach, CA.
Any chance I could have this as a ringtone just as loud as it is in real life?
Nope, it is just too loud besides anyone at 2 miles away would heard your ringtone
Nope, it is just too loud besides anyone at 2 miles away would heard your ringtone
+Ophiophagus hannah imagine sitting in an important meeting and your ringtone goes off
The boss: alright guys, today will be talking about are low stoc.....
Ringtone: blaring
Boss: the meeting is dismissed and so is my hearing.
when i was playing with my son's titanic model i played the horn and he thought the passengers of the real titanic did it xD
Uff, the ship becomes the Dubstep sample 💀💀💀
@toacamater We highly recommend it! You're welcome!
The horn sounded is the one in the first funnel. The second funnel once had a horn which is now on the Queen Mary 2
PS: both horns could be heard 10 miles away
It must have been great being aboard that ship.
@Bannanasbreakdance It certainly did that to us! Notice the hand-shake.
@Zebonka If only we could give this more than one thumbs-up.
My pleasure. Yes, the boilers and her forward engine room were removed and scrapped when she was converted, although there is a plan in the works to restore a couple of her boiler rooms to their original condition, with the appearance that the ship is under way and under steam once again. It's called the Yarrow Project, so named after the company that made the QMs boilers, one of which will a complete replica, potentially operational, to be placed among the rest, which will be facsimiles/dummies
That horn is modern now as it was steam horn before
Nope. Still the same horn. Just on air. The other one is broken...
I was there on oct the 9 and 10 2011. The horn was fuckingloud!
@spongegob28 So say the rumors. But one of us wandered the QM's decks and closed public rooms for several hours late one night and saw nothing but a few raccoons.
I was on the Oosterdam on an Alaska cruise. One morning like 7 am I was out on the deck and we were coming into a big fog bank and they were blowing those fog horns every 30 seconds or so. it was L.O.U.D.
1:02
i am going to travel to calofornia, long beach this saturday 😀
Supposedly, yes. There's even a room that isn't let out any more because of all the disturbances that have occurred. However, not all purported spirits on the QM are so unfriendly, one person described a ghost of a woman, who was quite friendly to the current guests, having told them that she had enjoyed many happy voyages on the ship.
Another ghost, that of a Cunard Line officer, purportedly hangs about the bridge, apparently still making his rounds of the ship he sailed when he was alive.
that will be my new alarm clock tone on my phone
Be glad she's still around at all, for most ocean liners don't get to end their lives as comfortably as the QM has. QM is the only liner of her period to survive, all the rest have either been broken up or sunk.
I know your frustration though, I'd love to visit the National Railway Museum in York, or visit the many preserved steam railways in Britain, but alas, the UK is beyond my travel budget at the moment, as is the QM.
Well, besides the fact that these are Tyfons, I do know that only one of the two Tyfons on the funnel is sounded anymore, the lower tone of the two-note "chime". I have an old recording of the QM sounding her Tyfons, and if you compare the sound to that the ship makes today, the absence of the higher siren is distinctly noticeable.
In service, these Tyfons were reputed to be capable of being heard at 10 miles away, although they were configured so as not to disturb the passengers when sounded
rapid, an you even go on the bridge wings anymore, and do they still do the horn?
I stayed at the hotel on my birthday 10 years ago, on Easter weekend. I like how your hand involuntarily shakes when the horn blast sounds.
I went here once MY EARS HURTED SO BAD AFTER THAT
i was on the queen mary 2 times 2007 and 2012
@britannic192 So were we- it only took a 4,000-mile drive! Surely you can do it. :)
Imagine if a hockey team used this as their goal horn.
pmsl at your reaction!! but shit, that almost blew me off my chair!
0:40 the camera guy jumps and that's when the 2 fog horns blow.
piston horn. ship horns can reach 175 decibels and that's way louder than a train horn which is 154dbs
@Shipwright1918 i knew about the boilers but not about the horns thank you very much
You guys should do some vlogs man
0:40 for the horn
Is there some type of rope or button to sound the horn?
how often do they sound that horn? i stay on campus at CSULB and I sometimes hear a loud horn... I'm wondering if it's coming from the Queen Mary? I hear it now. 12/29 @8pm
@purtygurl92 Pretty sure it's every day.
That is the Kockums 575 ship horn for you :)
So what times are the Tyfons sounded? I'd like to know that in case I ever pay the old girl a visit some day. I hear tell they used to have longer notes sounded on them, but it's all short blasts now.
She was a stem ship right? if so were is her steam whistle
That was her steam whistle. They blow it on air now...
omg
Someone ate beans today…💨💨
Queen Mary Disneys forgotten ship 🚢
I heard they Filmed The Posideon Adventure (1972) movie on board this ship.
Yes the movie 🎬 posiden adventure was filmed 🎥 on board the queen Mary 👸 and the queen Mary has also been featured in the movie 🎬 titanic 2 and the queen Mary was seen in a episode of Beverly Hill's 90210 and yes the queen Mary 👸 has been featured in at least maybe 4 episodes of the popular television 📺 series baywatch and the queen Mary was featured in an episode of the television 📺 series emergency that ran from 1972 to 1978 plus I have seen the queen Mary 👸 in several different movies 🎬 and television 📺 series and shows like the a- team and even in the television 📺 series knight rider and has been twice featured in the television 📺 series chips and the queen Mary is also featured in the movie 🎬 titled: the hindenburg this movie 🎬 is based on the true and tragic story about the airship hindenburg that while making a landing at Lakehurst naval airstation on may 6,1937 the hindenburg burst into flames caused by a combination of leaking hydrogen gas a lightning 🌩 strike and a bomb placed between gas cell numbers 5&6 of the 96 people who were aboard the hindenburg 36 people died including 2 naval ground crewmembers who were trying to help the hindenburg come in for a smooth landing several of the 36 people who died were children one of them was a 12 year old girl 👧 😢😢😢😢😢 who was burned over 70 percent of her body the captain of the hindenburg was burned by fire 🔥 over 94 percent of his body and he died of his burns and other injuries just over a month later today anchor ⚓️ chain ⛓️ marks the spot were the hindenburg had come down in flames and in a museum in New Jersey not very far from where the hindenburg disaster had taken place thier is still some of the silver cotton fabric that had been sowed to the steel and aluminum frame that was ridged and had held the silver cotton fabric in place these silver cotton fabric fragments can be viewed at the museum in New Jersey that was built as a tribute to the people who were injured and who were killed in this disaster that never should ever have happened in the first place, and because of the hindenburg disaster that meant the end of traveling on a ridged airship like the hindenburg her sister-ship the graf zeppelin 2 never made her maiden flight because soon after the hindenburg disaster had happened the graf zeppelin 2 dlz-130 was dismantled for scrap the hindenburg's registry number was dlz-129 and I now have heard from many of people that the hindenburg was destroyed by 🇺🇸 because of the nazi swastikas one on each side of her rear tail fins and this was also mentioned in a documentary video 📹 that was filmed 🎥 about the tragedy involving the rigid airship the hindenburg at Lakehurst n.j. naval airstation on may 6, 1937.
In the movie 🎬 the hindenburg the rigid airship is seen flying over new york harbor and the queen Mary 👸 is also seen sailing up new york harbor heading straight towards it's berth at the Cunard pier 59 the same pier were the Cunard liner carpathia had dropped off 712 survivor's from the sunken wreck of the titanic but instead of the carpathia dropping the survivor's of f at the Cunard pier 59 like everyone thought the carpathia would do the carpathia sailed straight up new york harbor to the pier of the white star line's and not only dropped the survivor's off at the white star line's pier but the carpathia also unloaded the titanic's lifeboats at the white star line's pier as well and as of today thier are no longer any titanic survivor's alive the last titanic survivor melvina dean died a couple of years ago at the age of only 104 years old she was only 8 months old when she was placed in a gunny/potato sack and tossed into a lifeboat that was being lowered down the starboard side of the titanic, melvina dean was cremated and her ashes were scattered across the wreck site of the r.m.s. titanic, now who ever would believe that the maiden voyage of the r.m.s. titanic from southampton, england to new york u.s.a. would turn out to be the titanic's very last voyage?..... .
.75 speed is nightmare fuel.
R.I.P headphone wearers
Is this ship gonna move or is it the hotel???
Its so loud that you can hear the echo
Imagine if Olympic was also a hotel ..
Well.. i used headphones with full sound
0:39
I always thought the Queen Mary had a steam horn i guess not
That's very loudly!
I have yet to see a video of this in which the camera person doesn't flinch.
It sound like Tyfon 425
Can I get this for my car?
How is it staying there?
+Jared Lowey Stateroom layout and bathroom plumbing a little strange but overall a good experience. A great view out the porthole.
I wonder if you can buy such a horn to my fiat panda
hey i challenge you to make a sinking model of the britannic
whew! What did it eat?
its a she
da universe you must be fun at parties.
0:40
it is on california
Correct, Long Beach.
alien tripod horn sound??
Now I'm i think I'm deaf!!!!!!!R.i.P. Me and my 👂 .
"whistle" doesn't seem like a good descriptor for this horn, more like "EarPloder" or "Car Alarm Tester".
At least they didn't scrape Queen Mary (i don't mean you Rapidnadion)
OK great now I am deaf
Isn't the ship like.....haunted?
The second whistle from the queen Mary 👸 isn't it on the funnel of the queen Mary 2? Being that it was originally on the original queen Mary 👸's second smokestack of which all three of the queen Mary's 👸 original smokestack's were removed to gain access to both of the queen Mary's steam boiler and engine rooms for the removal of all of the queen Mary's 👸 steam boilers and one of her 2-engine rooms to make way for exhibit space for exhibits dedicated to the great 31 year 6 month 9 day ocean going career on both the Atlantic and pacific ocean's, and during the queen Mary's stint as a ship 🚢 that carried troops, a ship 🚢 like this is known as a troopship adoph Hitler had a great bounty placed on the r.m.s. queen Mary and r.m.s. queen Elizabeth the queen Mary's sister-ship and running mate to be awarded to any u-boat captain or u-boat commander who would be the first u-boat captain or u-boat commander who could either catch and sink either the queen Mary or queen Elizabeth with torpedoes during the second world 🌎 war but no German u-boat captain or any u-boat commander were ever able to catch and sink either the queen Mary or her running mate the queen Elizabeth 👸 the queen Mary 👸 was retired from service after 31 years on the north Atlantic Ocean on December 9th 1967 in long Beach ⛱️ California and the queen Elizabeth 👸 was retired from service after only 28 years on the Atlantic Ocean the queen Mary 👸 was converted into a floating hotel 🏨 and museum-ship the same thing was supposed to happen to the queen Elizabeth 👸 in Florida but only after being open to the public while the conversion work was going on the Florida fire department 🚒 and the Florida fire Marshall declared that the queen Elizabeth 👸 was a fire Hazzard and the former passenger liner was put up for auction it was then sold to c.y. tung for conversion to a combination of a floating university and cruise liner but while the conversion work was going on five fires 🔥 were set in five different spots by the new owners son the ship 🚢 burned for over 18 days when the fire 🔥 was finally brought under control and put out for good the ship 🚢 was completely destroyed and partially capsized it tipped over to it's starboard side with the superstructure completely destroyed by the fire 🔥 and caved in the ship 🚢 was gorging fuel oil from it's cracked fuel tanks into Hong Kong 🇭🇰 harbor and the burned out charred hulked remains of the s.s. seawise University ex- queen Elizabeth 👸 was used in the making of the film a James bond movie 🎬 titled: a man with a golden gun, the burned out charred remains of the s.s. seawise University ex- r.m.s. queen Elizabeth 👸 were used as the mi-6 spy headquarters for British spy operatives and after the filming 🎥 of the James bond movie 🎬 the man with the golden gun was finished being filmed 🎥 the burned out charred hulk of the s.s. seawise University ex- r.m.s. queen Elizabeth 👸 was finally broken up for scrap steel what could not be removed from the spot were the burned out charred hulk of this once famous and proud popular passenger layed was left in place and a new dock was built on what was left of this proud queen of the Atlantic Ocean the once proud r.m.s. queen Elizabeth 👸 so far the first of three passenger Liners to bear 🐻 the name queen Elizabeth 👸. 😅😅😅😅😅 😊😊😊😊😊 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤❤❤❤.
@Rapidnadion There are Raccoons on the Queen Mary
Isnt the Queen Mary a ghost ship now?
NO THiS ONE İS NEW
+esref Garol If by new, you mean 80 years old, then sure!
+dhutchinson86 are you seroiusly kidding me
haha hes messing with you mate
Entity no, she serves as a hotel. Tbh, I think making her seem "haunted" was a marketing plot to attract customers. All of the staff currently onboard think it's nonsense, and the ship suddenly became "haunted" right as she exited Cunard service.
The way the camera shakes has me doubled over laughing...that thing must have been REALLY obnoxious.
whats annoying is that this wonderful vessel is in America. Thats not bad, but it was built in Britain. I just don't feel comfortable seeing a British legend in America. But what can I do? Nothing. I suppose the big American museums don't want anybody else to have one-of-a-kind's, even the place they came from. :(
still_guns Let’s just be happy that the ship is preserved rather than scrapped.
still_guns It'd be nice if Queen Mary was docked in Britain. I honestly think that if the RMS Olympic was still around, she'd probably take Queen Mary's current spot.
is a nightmare
Isnt that ship haunted???
Im slow mo it just sound like a gun
And why is it annoying? She's got a safe anchorage, she's looked after like the grand old lady she is, and she has many devoted fans and visitors who think the world of her. And the City of Long Beach, which owns the QM, has no intention of letting anything bad happen to her, either, so she's in good hands.
And you lot have some one-of-a-kind ships too, such as Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia, and the legendary HMS Victory, to say nothing of the SS Great Britain, HMS Warrior, the Cutty Sark, etc.
nah Titanic's and btw they are rised from the water
When I become a RUclipsr I will use this sound as my triggered meme sound “that shall be fun”😅😅😅😅😅
