Re: Edwin H. Gott
Just thought I might inject this here: I don't recall any mention of horns in any Coast Guard regulation concerning sound signals being used on ships/boats....

Does anyone what the "issue" was as to why the Gott delayed her entry into Duluth on 6/21? Heard her transmission with the bridge that she was delaying. By the way, LOVE the new Gott horns!

Re: Edwin H. Gott
I just saw and watched the video of the Gott arriving in Duluth on the Duluth Harbor Cam website and indeed they do have a different type of sound this time on their horn but a correction to my previous post if I may and that is, the sound is no way shape or form the same tone and sound as the horn sound on the McCarthy, Indiana Harbor and also the American Century as those three are all in a class to themselves now. Just wonder then if the Speer would someday get a new set of horns?

Re: Edwin H. Gott
Very interesting news and thanks for that Pat. I am wondering if she now sounds like some of the other Bay Ship Footers as far as the horn sounds go? What I mean is, "Does her new horn sound like that of say the Indiana Harbor for instance?" The Indy got a new sounding set back in 2017 and hers is much louder now then they used to be and definitely noticeable! Years ago I also recall the Walter J. McCarthy got a new sounding horn similar to what now is on the Indiana Harbor and the American Century got a new sounding type of horn in 2006. I'll never forget the first time that I heard the Century's horn in 2006 as I was blown away by how loud and different it was. I'll have to check out the Duluth website now by Dennis and see when he has any video of her in Duluth then.
