BTW thanks for zooming in and filming all the intricate details of the ship and it's various communication/radar/etc. systems in place. The TH-cam community owes you one for this video.
@SKEEZYBOY i dont believe the ship horn is in the blue smoke stack. i think it would be more towards the back of the ship and probly using around 300-400psi. but tht is a loud horn so yu were indeed close.
Wow, that's loud! especially considering you were about as far away from the horn as you can get, it's located on the black mast on top of the bridge, you were standing at the back (the horn on the rear facing bridge is not blown), try standing at the front ;)
lol yeah whenever i'm on the ferry to Nanaimo (from vancouver to vancouver island) you always forget it's about to go off when you're on the desk and it scares the shit out of you
No, they don't use whistles... Or horns... What they use is somewhere between that. They're called Hooters. They sound like horns, but they're working with a whistle's mechanism...
Hope you don't mind, SKEEZYBOY, but a while ago I proposed that displeased TH-camrs post a featured video of a foghorn blast in protest of the recent TH-cam channel (er...hmmm) "UPGRADES" (cough, cough). After exhaustive testing of every fog horn vid on YT, I determined that yours was the LOUDEST FOG HORN BLAST ON TH-cam!!! LOL :-).......YES FOLKS, WE HAVE BEEN UPGRADED INTO MEDIOCRITY...BLAST THAT FOGHORN IN PROTEST...MAKE SOME NOISE ALL ACROSS TH-cam!!! WE WANT OUR OLD CHANNELS BACK!!!!
i hate the older ships like the queen of saanich, where they have the horn in the middle of the ship ive seen people drop things like drinks and food when the horn blasted, ive almost dropped my drink cuase of the horn

I was on a cruise on the Thomson spirit and the captain could see us from the bridge wings and he just told us to stick our fingers in our ears !
0:10 I heard that, you said holy f lol 😄😂😂
LMAO! that second blast freaked me out
I love the way you jumped when the horn went off !! LOL :)

Thanks buddy-been on them a million times!
It is reffered to as the ships whistle but yes it's an air horn.
In the old days they were steam whistles so that's what they still. call it.

Taking my first Ferry ride in YEARS on Friday morning. First time my kids are going to be a boat
The whistles are sound more clear, they're blow,
and a bit higher... The horns are a bit more crocky,
they're honk, and they're usually much lower.
That's in bc! Sweet ferry ride.
No, they don't use whistles...
Or horns... What they use is somewhere between that. They're called Hooters. They sound like horns, but they're working with a whistle's mechanism...
If you are wondering why there is a horn blast every two minutes in this video, it is a signal of a "vessel sailing in low or restricted visibility".
"holy fuck @ 12 sec" I think everybody says that when they are on deck for the first time - There's no fuckin warning!! hahahaha
@teamchobotscheats Oh ya. I think Vancouver has one like it.
that might've been my dad, he is the captain of the victoria>
you can see the horns right where the white roof meets the mast, about 0:26 in
This happened to me once on the tsawassen to sturdies bay route! It was very annoying
I love the jump lol
Couldn't be. BC Ferries is a fine, accident-free transportation outfit. They never run into docks, other craft or sink to the bottom of the ocean.
"So, Jim, what did you say your mother was again?"
"I said she was a-"
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Queen of Cowichan.
@jk1567 yes, they rarley do it on the Surrey but whenever they do I'm on the sun deck. Bastards are watching me.
actually, its a fog whistle. Ships use whistles not horns. ^^ The more you know.

Uh oh... Brown note?
Holy fuck I want to mount one of those on the roof of my house so fucking bad. The neighbors would LOVE me.
"holy fuck" hahahahahaha bet he was scared shitless
@SKEEZYBOY They're on the mast.
Not really a foghorn, they blow those going through Active pass all the time.
and when the Ferry leaves the dock.
They do use radar. They just sound the horn for the benefit of small boats that don't.
fog just rolled in I am using this to let all my neighbors know there is gonna be mist on their windows.....frickin rich bastards.
MV queen of cowichan
He shoots...HE SCOOOOOORES!
The Foghorn is used to tell other ship to GTF out of the way in low visibility conditions.
WHATS THAT IN C MAJOR with a C# at the begining
Are those horns are coming from those airvents?
ghost ship?
It's the Queen of Coquitlam:If you look closely at the life ring at 0:15 it spells Queen of Coquitlam
HE SHOOTS HE SCORESSSSSS.
that would definitely damage my ears if possible
The horn is somewhere near the big blue smokestacks. Scared the fuck outta me.
I thought the foghorn was supposed to be on land not on a boat so that boats know where land is when there is heavy fog.
In fog boats sound their horn every 2 minutes.
they r whey louder in person
i hate the older ships like the queen of saanich, where they have the horn in the middle of the ship
ive seen people drop things like drinks and food when the horn blasted, ive almost dropped my drink cuase of the horn
LMFAO u can see the camera shake a little when the first one blows. LOL
it means its approaching a bend...if thats any help...=)
No ...
*Runs around screaming and flailing arms*
yeah, im sure youd go over as a real riot! lol
and i thought they had radars showing other Ships in the area .. how silly of me .
they're in fog running without radar?
Yeah BC Ferries!WOO :)
Ships use the horns to warn other ships.
WHAT THE "FOG" IS GOIN' ON?
Lol thats what I said when I was on the SS Lane Victory when she blew hers
Get money, get paid.
what boat is that
Queen of Cowichan or Coquitlam
wats so funny to me is there is one long loud horn then a little tinny one about 1 sec affter
If you want to skip through all the crap and actually hear the horn, skip to 2:03.
