Recordist's notes
Recorded with zoom h6. One of the big ferries (Helsingborg --> Helsingør), the last one before midnight. Looks like a ghost ship. First you'll hear the soft sound of the waves and harbour. Then the engines goes on, and you will hear a crescendo while the ferry departure. Afterwards it's nice just listening to the sound of the waves.
