Recordist's notes

Another attempt to capture this event as the ship leaves Brooklyn Cruise Terminal and steams out into The North Atlantic. Around 1' 23" the traffic on the bridge can be heard only 2.5 meters above the funnel of the ship. Recorded on Deck 13 at a point against a wall where the engine sounds combine to produce a slight beat frequency.
