@chasriner , They were called "ship whistles" back when ships ran on steam, The term "ship whistle" dates from the time when steam whistles was the usual instrument on ships. At some stage the distinction between fog horn and ship's whistle has blurred.Without steam-driven ships the "whistle" was usually an air or electro/piston type horn. Whistles where simple cylindrical instruments. The "horns on ships these days have diaphragms(moved by air) or a piston(moved by an electric motor.

@Norfolkscot , The QE2 has horns and an electro horn not a siren. I collect ship horns and have seen these horns in person. These are the horns on the QE2:
Mast, air horn: Kockumsonics MKT 230/75 air SuperTyfon.
Mast, electric horn: Kockumsonics MA 18/75 ElectroTyfon.
Bow: Kockumsonics MTX 150/130 ElectroTyfon.

A ship's "horn" is properly referred to as its "whistle."
