Gastown Steam Clock in Vancouver British Columbia

[Mike999196]

The "O Canada" horn heard at the beginning goes off only at noon, yet the clock is showing 7:02. What's up with that?

It is not electric, you can see the small steam engine inside working.

hahahahahahah!

I always drive through Gastown and giggle to myself over the tourists who like watching the clock.

Hotdogish; What do you do for laughs?.Besides this?.

[hotdogish]

Uhm, yeah. I have a life. I was just looking through this user's videos because they have a bunch of concert tapes and happened to see this.

Much Agreed Adam, Gotta love those "Oh' Cannada" horns.
