ELIMINATE THAT OLD STEAM HORN

The Kahlenberg TRITON Piston Horn is a unique sound producing unit because it requires no compressed air and no diaphragms yet utilizes air vibrations in a tuned sound column. The unit consists of an electric motor driving a pis- ton with a cylinder similar in appearance to an air compres- sor. Very economical to operate and install. Write for bulle- tin. 92C. The KB-20 electric horn is available in 110 volt,

A C. or 24 volt, D C. for vessels up to 246' in length.

Blount Marine To Build

Another New York-Class

Harbor Cruise Vessel

Cruise International (CI) of Nor- folk, Va., operator of the "Spirit" line fleet of seven harbor cruise ships, has announced plans to build five New York-class vessels in the next two years. Two will be built in 1988, and three in 1989.

A contract for the first of the two has been awarded to Blount Marine of Warren, R.I., builder of the other

Spirit vessels. CI plans to homeport this vessel in Los Angeles. The con- tract for the second vessel to be built this year is expected to be awarded soon. A special committee is evaluating port cities for assign- ment of Spirit vessels.

The Spirit of New York has re- cently completed its inaugural sea- son carrying about 180,000 passen- gers. It was named an outstanding passenger vessel of 1987 by Mari- time Reporter and Engineering

News (January 1988 issue, page 23), and is regarded by maritime experts as one of the finest vessels of this type in operation. According to

Richard O'Leary, president of

CI, all future vessels will be of this design.

Presently nearing completion at

Blount Shipyard in Warren is the seventh ship in the Spirit line, the 192-foot Spirit of Chicago, a 600- passenger sister ship to the Spirit of

New York, which is scheduled to begin service in Chicago's Lake

Michigan this month.
