I think I like the Edward L. Ryerson's horn best. Although I also sort of like the American Fortitude's horn. That little squeak at the beginning is my favorite.

[@zackbovitz1484]

I'll agree with the Ryerson

[@slashracingproductions5593]

american fortitued reminds me of when I used to go here 10 years ago. Also why was the bridges horn that quiet for a few months?

[@1Long2Short]

From what I've heard, the Ryerson has the same type of horn that was on the Edmund Fitzgerald. So when you hear the Ryerson, , you're hearing a close approximation of what the Fitz sounded like.

[@kidink5435]

James R Barker and the Barker

[@NateCraven318]

5:56 The Edmund Fitzgerald horn sounded exactly like this.

[@allischalmersfanwd4566]

no

[@TNS17]

No it did not.

[@northstarstatepolitics1652]

@@TNS17 Yes it did, The Fitz had the exact same whistles as the Ryerson Does.

[@hebirb]

Its the same but in a different pitch

[@mathewrenouf4380]

Elliot Legos, Ferries and MO! I agree 100%! If you look up the now-scrapped cruise ship called SAGA RUBY, her two-toned horn or “whistle” is pretty much the same, except air driven I think. The Edward L Ryersons were steam driven. Kind regards from Auckland, New Zealand!

[@dennismanley9891]

James R Barker is the best whistle on the great lakes imo

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

Tregurtha is straight up intimidating. Imagine hearing that.

[@hunterneitzel3012]

She was intimidating, she was originally built as the USS Chiwawa, which was a navy oiller

American fortitude horn is my favorite shame they scapted her

I love the look of the Steam ones

[@jaimekeever9462]

Rock Tuner me to

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

Rock Tuner most of them were built in the 1950’s and 1960’s. That’s why.

[@TheOnlyShadowJira]

8:00 probably a horn that should go against the biggest cruise ships and liners!

[@diecastexcept6096]

I love these ships

[@ive5013]

I saw Philip. R .clarke it was my first ship I saw!

[@cruzin8056]

The ryerson has a angry horn, sadly she is still asleep and I won't be able to see her

[@hebirb]

what horns do the american fortitude candian miner and joseph h block use including the john b boland

[@eltoro6688]

Algowood has a cool twinnote horn.

including the capt henry jackman

[@andrewbeaudoin943]

What happened to the others in their years? It looks good, but I'm not sure what went wrong with parts from 1999-2012.

[@josephinebennington7247]

On those ships that have both, Do the crew in the foc’sle ever talk to the crew in the stern castle? Why have so much accommodation at each end?

[@nlmfilms6641]

1:19 Horn is my favorite!

Watch This! Presque Isle 11:34

[@jamiesmith1881]

I saw the fortitude being scraped

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

Sad, because she was essentially the prototype for Edmund Fitzgerald and Edward L Ryerson. Most ships of the 50’s were based on her class and the one before...

[@jaylenyoung2632]

I miss that ship

[@rarleyposting5546]

roger bough actually has dual horns

[@KevinSkow]

randomdude354 Yep, but in the video she is only using one of those horns.

[@rarleyposting5546]

ok

[@redbrobster]

Herbert C Jackson is being converted to diesel. Will it be renamed like the Oberstar? As of now, the Badger and Alpena are the only steamers left.

[@roundthirteen]

Cason Calloway, Arthur Anderson, Phillip Clarke,

[@LNERMallard]

Actually, the Arthur M. Anderson, Cason J. Callaway, Phillip R. Clarke and the Wilfred Sykes are all still steam powered, and running.

[@redbrobster]

+Spaghettios I had always thought that they were diesel powered. Also, is that the same horn that they would have had in the past?

[@LNERMallard]

The three AAA steamers used to have Leslie Tyfon 300's, but now carry Kahlenberg piston horns. The Wilfred Sykes still has a functional 300/425 pair, but seems to use a modern piston horn more often now.

[@LNERMallard]

Also, Michipicoten still retains her original Tyfon 300's, but sounds then on air, giving them a deeper pitch, which I don't mind. :)

[@cpark441]

I Think The John G. Munson Has A dual Horn,Though The Herbert C. Jackson has A Normal Horn Now

[@bluerazor7049]

The Jackson was repowered to diesel in the winter so sadly her Leslie 300 steam horns were replaced with the boring KPC-130 Electric piston horn that nesrly every ship has these days!

[@andrewbeaudoin7363]

What happened to Parts 1-4?

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

What? There were more?
