SS Alpena Master Salute at the Grassy Island Range Lights; Green Bay, WI
I'm back with the Type B Diaphone!
I finally managed to meet the Alpena at the mouth of the Fox River in Green Bay.
The Grassy Island Range Lights were built in 1872 on a small island approaching the mouth of the Fox River in Green Bay. When the channel was widened in the 1960s, the lighthouses were not needed and slated for demolition.
The Green Bay Yacht Club acquired the two towers in 1966 and in recent years have completely restored them. The lenses are replica 6th Order lenses made by Artworks Florida.
(Special Thanks to Wayne Dunbar for making this happen!)

Alpena in Green Bay - Fire/Fog horn and Steam Horn Exchange
Переглядів 738Рік тому
I took my Type B Diaphone to Green Bay to try and get a steam salute out of the Alpena. I was supposed to go to the Grassy Island Range Lights and get a cool video from there...but we missed them. A friend who was meeting me anyway scouted for a 2nd location and got permission from some cool construction workers to set up on the edge of the new marina by Mason Street. I'm really happy to see th...
SS Badger in Manitowoc (With Salute)
Переглядів 699Рік тому
6-17-23 The SS Badger was returning to Manitowoc after a 2-hour shoreline cruise along the WI shore. When the boat passed the breakwall, she sounded a salute. I was waiting with the Type B Diaphone and responded. After unloading the cruise passengers and loading a small load of cars & trucks, they were on the way back to Ludington about a half hour later. One month after this video, on July 26t...

Steam Locomotive Whistle, "Fire Alarm" Whistle, & Type F Diaphone
Переглядів 850Рік тому
We're back out at Harry Barry's place on Lake Erie! I brought my new acquisition out to test it on his air supply - a 5" diameter Lunkenheimer "Fire Alarm" whistle. The chime whistle is the one from the last video - a 6" diameter chime by Schaeffer and Budenberg. It's always a treat to visit Harry! Check out his channels where he shows off his noisemakers! @12inchchime @harrybarry2291
SS Badger Exchanging Salutes with Type B Diaphone Horn
Переглядів 24 тис.2 роки тому
The @SSBadgerFerry 2022 sailing season came to a close on October 16th and I wanted to close out the season by exchanging salutes on her final departure from Manitowoc! The ship's reply to the master salute (3 long, 2 short) features the ship's original steam horn (a Tyfon 300) on the 2 short blasts. The chime horn is a Kahlenberg T4 air horn. Kahlenberg is located in Two Rivers - 10 miles nort...
HEAR a Type F Diaphone and Type B Diaphone Side by Side

Jake Heffernan and his Gamewell Type B Diaphone Harry Barry and his Type F Diaphone Fog Horn (Diaphone Signal Co. Toronto, ON) This Type F was used in the Cleveland, Ohio West Pierhead lighthouse from 1916 - 1965.
How a Type F Diaphone Fog Horn Works
Переглядів 17 тис.2 роки тому
Harry Barry explains how his Type F Diaphone fog horn works. His fog horn is mounted on the shore of Lake Erie and is powered by a 1000 gallon air tank. The Type F and (two-toned) F2T horns were the standard for lighthouse fog horns for much of the 20th century. Harry's horn is the only privately owned Type F that's in working condition that I'm aware of.
Sounding Classic Steam Whistles and a Type F Diaphone Fog Horn
Переглядів 1,6 тис.2 роки тому
Harry Barry invited us out to his place along the shore of Lake Erie to show us his Type F Diaphone fog horn. Before that, he shows us 3 whistles in his impressive steam whistle collection. He explains a bit about each whistle before blowing them on about 100 PSI of air from a 1,000 gallon tank. When the pressure is around 45 PSI in the tank, he sounds the Type F Diaphone fog horn. The Type F (...

Type B Diaphone Horn Test Sounding
Переглядів 2,4 тис.2 роки тому
This Type B Diaphone (manufactured by Gamewell) was originally used to signal box alarms for a fire department. This size was used on some Great Lakes light stations (Such as Fourteen Foot Shoal Lighthouse on Lake Huron) where the incredible power of the Type F or Type F2T diaphone was not needed. I acquired this horn in January 2022, sight unseen. The owner knew what it was, but that's it. He ...

    So just imagine back over 100 years ago in some major manufacturing city the cheapest rents in town were next to the fog horn factory. Here’s another thought, back then the workers may have been called to work by steam horns, then work all day building steam horns, then end a work shift by yet another horn.

    Brighton Marina, West arm, circa 1983. There were no public loos so you had to shimmy onto a ledge surrounding a white round building at the end of the arm. So, 12 yr old me shimmy around, mid pee and unknown to me .....BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.. .the damn fog horn came on. I must have jumped about 30 feet in the air and how I didnt fall into the sea is still a mystery to me. I came off that thing, shaking like a leaf, covered in pee!!! Fun times.

    The Diaphone fog horn is an adaption of the Diaphone used in the pipe organ which produces the 64ft sounds a famous example being in the worlds largest pipe organ in Boardwalk hall which has a 64ft Diaphone.

    So if the locks weren’t there you would basically have to go downhill in water and uphill in water? I’m confused as to what would it be like if they weren’t there? Just a steep ramp like river of water?

    • @LighthouseJake
      @LighthouseJake Рік тому

      A steep ramp of water is rapids. Between the American locks and the Canadian locks are a series of rapids that mimic what the untamed river might look like. Commercial navigation at that point would be impossible.
