It's a salute, kinda like "Hey, thanks for lifting up for me". Then the bridge says "You're welcome, nice to see you again!"

Two long blasts followed by two short blasts is the signal for the bridge to lift. In this case the bridge is already up because the captain probably radioed to the bridge. But they continue the custom. In addition the captain can give one blast while going under to say "thank you!" and then after clearing, the ship will signal with one long and one short blast. Each time the bridge tender will respond with the same signal to acknowledge that he is aware of the approaching ship.

@brdmnmex The Blough was sounding the full, or formal, captain's salute of 3 long, 2 short. Some captains or officers opt for this salute over the more common short captain's salute of 1 long, 2 short. (The video misses the Blough's first long blast) Captain's salutes are a greeting or farewell. The signal to request a lift before radio was common practice was long, short, long, short. You can still hear this signal from the bridge to alert pleasure craft of an upcoming scheduled lift.

Congrats on catching the Roger Blough. For those of you who don't know your ore boats, a little trip to Google or Wikipedia is in order so you can learn about this history-making ship. Also, the Blough, with the Wilfred Sykes were following the Edmund Fitzgerald when it sank.

@Suckmykiss20 The first horn set that has the low deep sound is coming from the boat and the second horn set that is higher pitched is from the bridge.
