E-flat minor, actually. Sounds pretty awesome, though. More ships and trains should have their horns tuned like this! Correction: It's likely major, not minor. Not sure why I thought other wise.
Better idea. Put Mauretania’s whistle, or Normandie’s horn (not the docking whistle that was preserved: footage of her maiden voyage is the only surviving recording of the horn I know of, and it was used a fair bit!) on to one of those.
2:20 I’m amazed the helmsman can keep the ship so straight down that canal. From this angle the ship looks so long that if the helm is just a few degrees off then the front of the ship will swing quite far. Leverage.

Didn't realize they blew the horn before setting to sea so I decided to snooze for a bit.....when 2:00 came around, I almost flew off my bed when the Horizons horn blew! We had our door open so the sound was extra loud 😂. Good thing it wasn't as loud as this one or I would've had a heart attack!

I thought I was the only one who would check out what notes the horn played! (I did so on a different video of the Barker). I see that you did, too. I now feel less like a weirdo! 🙂
Which really is the absolute loudest ship horn in the world? Loud enough to rupture your eardrums standing in front of or underneath the horn? Or earsplitting from up to 1000ft away?
Money, mothers ornaments, disease free brothers, occupying houses in singapore, to britain to rio and in amsterdam. Sadness how the original ones played us out.🎉

Sumburgh foghorn is 149 decibels but I don't know how loud these horns are. There is a loud foghorn at the end which is loud when standing right next to it so I imagine it is similar to 149 decibels.
Thanks!! It’s a rare type that Kockums only produced a limited number of. I believe an MKT-230/75. QE2 had one air, and also one electric piston horn on the mast that almost matches the pitch. Together they created a warbling effect and it was amazing to hear, wish I had in person.

I think it summons the dead in Valhalla to battle ⚔🏹🛡🗡
this ship has the most badass horn on the lakes besides tregurtha
Definitely like the Barker horn over Paulie's🚢
you never realize it but large ships can get moving at impressive speeds for their size. on average they travel at 18-25 Knots, approximately 20 mph.
And they are surprisingly maneuverable thanks to the bow and stern thrusters

For every dent in the bow of that ship it loses 15 sq. ft. of cargo space. So tonnage loss is like 100 tons?
