The BARBARA H has two steam whistles which operate off of compressed air. Not long after buying the boat, the captain discovered the whistles tucked away in the crawl-space below the pilothouse. The former owner confirmed that the 4" Powell whistle was indeed original to the boat to 1923. The origins of the other whistle, a 4" Buckeye Brass, are unknown, but it is thought to have been with the boat for many years as well.
