What does the foghorn sound like?

It sounds huge. It rattles. It rattles you. It is a booming, lonely sound echoing into the vastness of the sea. When Jennifer Lucy Allan hears the foghorn's colossal bellow for the first time, it marks the beginning of an obsession and a journey deep into the history of a sound that has carved out the identity and the landscape of coastlines around the world, from Scotland to San Francisco.

Jennifer Lucy Allan talks with Matthew Shaw at the White Rabbit Summer Party, held at the Taproom on August 12th 2023

The Foghorn’s Lament - available from White Rabbit Books
