The two ship's horns from the RMS Windsor Castle, these were mounted on the funnel.
(These items were also acquired by Trinity Marine when the RMS Windsor Castle was scrapped in Alang, India in 2005)

There is an interesting story about these two huge ship’s horns from the RMS Windsor Castle. One was for steam and one was for air and they were mounted on the ship's funnel. These huge Swedish "Super Tyfons" were manufactured by Kockums Mekaniska Verkstad, Malmo, Sweden. The horn controls were situated on the bridge and had a special gate on it that prevented both horns being blown at the same time. One serving Captain had a reputation for being a bit of a show off, and before setting off from Cape Town one day he instructed that the safety gate from the siren control was to be removed. As the RMS Windsor Castle left the port the Captain sounded both horns at the same time and the tremendous noise produced shattered all the light bulbs and many of the glass faces on the panels in the wheelhouse! So now you know why one one horn was ever supposed to be sounded, and not both together!
