Fog horns on the river at night or in the evening are not unusual but rarely do I hear them during the day. Everyday last week, it was foggy. Even by afternoon the fog wasn't totally burned off. I was walking at Lake Erie metropark and several times heard the fog horns. Later, I drove to the lake and could just make out a large freighter (barge). Although it was 1:30pm and sunny at the park, it was still fogged in on the water. This ship is on the Detroit River, just at the mouth of Lake Erie. You can barely make it out on the left side of the picture.That is the back of the ship...the front barge part cannot be seen. I suspect they have some kind of radar but still rely on the fog horn.
