Foghorn sounding at Owls Head Lighthouse

Misty day on West Penobscot Bay, Maine. April 9, 2013 at Owls Head Light Station.

That "horn" is actually an Automatic Power Model FA-232 electronic signal which operates at 400 Hz. The Coast Guard should have left the real air horn fog signal in place.

The old horn is still at Portland Head!

I have heard this horn nearly every summer for 47 years - but never in January. Enjoy even if you have never heard it live.
Then plan a trip to Owls Head - once you go to Maine you will always want to go back.
Lunch at the Owls Head General Store is also a must. Can't miss it as you pass that way to get out to the lighthouse

sounds better from mussel ridge! thx

[@Austin-tg6go]

That's actually really cool

[@gaius_enceladus]

Sounds like a **car** horn rather than a fog-horn!
To me, a fog-horn is a super-low-bass "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" . Think about the pitch that that old guy sang "Wandering Star" at many years ago - **that's** what I'm getting at.

This foghorn sounds like grilled cheese to me, and tastes like tomatoes!

How does the fog know when to turn on and off

[@yeaman4538]

@@dashcamdude6690 if the light is manned then the keepers will do it, but if the light is automated then a fog detector will start the foghorn.
