QE2's Unique Horn Sound was actually an ERROR! QE2 has three whistles - two electric horns and one air horn. One of the horns is out of tune - has been since 1969 - this created the unique "throbbing" sound of QE2's whistle - listen again to hear if you can notice it! — ✓ Join to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgk7SzYDkiXWWBfMqXYH0cA/join 🚢 Cunard History Website: https://www.chriscunard.com/ 📚 Buy books: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/books 👕 Buy cruise merch: https://themaritimehistorian.Teemill.com/ 🛳️ Learn about cruising: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/ 🎧 Substack: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com/ 🌐 Frame & Cross Consultancy: https://frameandcross.com/ 🎥 OUR EQUIPMENT: Camera - DJI Mimo Pocket 2: https://amzn.to/3XjXwQn Vlogging Mic: DJI Mic: https://amzn.to/3D3idJP Lav Mic: DJI Lavalier Mic: https://amzn.to/4klRgBA Voice Over Mic: Audio Technica: https://amzn.to/4ij8myg These are affiliate links meaning we may receive a small commission from any sales. 🗺️ CUSTOM CRUISE MAP: Made using AIS (satellite ship-tracking) data, The Cruise Maps show the exact route.
