Three short blasts means you are operating in reverse. One prolonged blast followed by 3 short blasts means boat under tow in redcued visibility conditions.
This one long blast serves as a warning to other craft that there is an unseen vessel in the area. Be on alert!
Two short horn blast from a vessel means that she is turning port and one short horn blast that she is turning starboard
Sos..Need help.
you better get off that ship!!Two short blasts means that the vessel intends to leave you on it's starboard side. If you are in international waters it means " I am altering my course to port"

Usually the tug towing the barge will sound it's horn or whistle. Most barges are unmanned. 5 or more short blasts of the ships whistle is the danger signal. If you hear this while boating you are likely in the way or crossing the path of the tug and tow, and there is risk of collision. Tugs with tows are much less maneuverable than a small boat and usually must stay in the dredged navigation channel.
