Portland Lighthouse Diaphone Fog Horn
Loading...
Uploaded by hellooldchap on Sep 1, 2006
The old diaphone at Portland, Dorset, UK is sounded on Sundays between 1030 and 11, as long as the electric fog signal aint operating! The lighthouse is also open to the public from 11. See

This foghorn and lighthouse reminds me of our lighthouse; except that our lighthouse is shorter; manned; and it's foghorn is way more powerful! It hauls ass; unlike this one.

That must travel a long distance! It sucks that they don't make these spectacular things anymore.

Cool stuff!

This video and the fog signal reminds me of the Hood Point lighthouse here where I live.

It is a pneumatic horn with an oscillating piston, specifically a Type F Diaphone.

Yes I love the sound of fog horns, as a kid I used to stand under The Lizard Fog Horn in the fog just to hear it. Mind you not that I acutally needed to be underneath to hear it.
