Merry Christmas all,
Not a ship spotter as such, but thought that you may be able to shed some light on this for me. Early this morning at around 2:30AM I was woken by the sound of a ships horn. It was giving 7 short blasts and one long, repeatedly. My vague memories of ferry trips tell me this is a ship's general alarm? It seemed to go on for a while, perhaps 20 mins? I live in Titchfield, UK, it's between Portsmouth and Southampton, about 2km from the coast, I checked on the news and twitter but can't find anything about it. I'm just interested really, to know if anything was going on, or if this is a fairly common occurrence. I'm can regularly hear the fog horns at night but I've never heard this one before. Can any of you wise people help me?
Regards,
