I wish I'd never started this topic ...

 

I can hear a Les Dawson mother-in-law joke in my head.

 
Why did you have a foghorn in your holiday caravan?

I've now expanded this topic's heading, as it has attracted some wider interest.

My personal memories are of Trevose Head in Cornwall, where we heard that foghorn overnight in our holiday caravan.  It never bothered me - it was just a safety feature in the distance, 'for those in peril on the sea'.

 
I've been subscribed to keeping_a_lighthouse since his second video. Excellent nascent channel.

 
An adjacent reference, so slightly off topic.
In the same geographic area however,

I was fortunate enough to fly out to the Seven Stones Light many years ago during a routine maintenance visit.
Wasn't there to work, just a quick look around the ship itself.
My Father had designed her and she was built by the yard he worked for (Philip and Son at Dartmouth).
I worked at Landsend Radio, and we used to take several daily weather reports from the Stones to pass on to the Met Office.

The Wolf light must have been automated as I don't recall any communications from her.

Wolf light recently featured in the Saving Lives at Sea (BBC2, Series 10, Episode 10 when the Sennen and Penlee Lifeboats went out to the Wolf as a bulk carrier Mazarine grounded on the light.

 
I'm posting this here, in 'The Lighter Side' because ... well, it is in the lighthouse side.
