He has published three non-fiction books in Italy – including one about an event in Milwaukee history, which was published in the U.S. Since then, Brandon Schmitz shared an audio recording of the horn.)īorn in Brooklyn, N.Y., where he lived until he was 17, Bobby received his BA-Mass Communications from UWM in 1989 and has lived in Walker's Point, Bay View, Enderis Park, South Milwaukee and on the East Side. (NOTE: A reader who was out on the breakwall as the cruise ship passed, confirmed that it was the ship sounding its horn, one blast at a time, not two as would have been the case had it been the lighthouse foghorn. However, it's possible it was the foghorn mounted outside the Art Deco breakwater lighthouse that is a Milwaukee landmark, activated by the passing vessel. Most likely the vessel was sounding its own horn, as a dense fog advisory at the shore and on the lake was in effect from 11:59 a.m. – the same time that the Vantage Cruise Line's Ocean Explorer departed Port Milwaukee's South Shore Cruise Dock, destined for Mackinac Island. It was reportedly sounding for about an hour beginning around 8 p.m. That may be the reason for the horn, which was so loud that one person said it could be heard in Riverwest, “as loud as day.” A Facebook commenter said she heard it at 14th and Oklahoma. “If there was a vessel out there (in the fog) it would be required to sound its horn.” “We wouldn’t be the ones sounding that foghorn,” I was told this morning. Coast Guard in many years, and a call over to the the USCG station in Bay View confirmed that. The lighthouse's horn hasn’t been routinely activated by the U.S. But it may or may not have been the breakwater lighthouse foghorn that used to lull so many of us to sleep.
