Discontiuned Channel Ok, let me tell you why you are wrong. On half those videos the mic is crapping out, meaning they sound nothing like they should. Normandie’s whistle is slightly higher in pitch than Titanic. The Olympic video suffers from the same mic issues, but is easily audible at lower pressure earlier in the video. Yes, that recording is as close as you’ll get to Titanic, but I never mentioned Titanic. This is a Liberty Ship from WWII, and I was referencing the other ships sunk by German subs, or scrapped after the war.
I know this is a later model "Liberty Ship" but it makes me wonder what the whistles sounded like on the WWI concrete hulled steamers, which were also called Liberty Ships. Mainly the Sapona. Shame what happened to her. We better enjoy Sapona while we still can. Who knows how much longer she'll last in those waters.
