I am not sure when this actually takes place, but it seems like an appropriate video for a grey cold and rainy Monday. Here is the P&O Cruises Oriana departing Southampton’s City Cruise Terminal for a refit. As per the Rules of the Road, the captain gives one long blast of the ship’s horn to alert other vessels of the ship’s departure. Unfortunately, it is a considerably longer blast than anticipated. The horn gets stuck and blasts away for over 20 minutes. Here is a seven minute excerpt. Thanks to Alaric Bond for passing the video along.
