In the maritime environment, it mean several things:
1. In restricted visibility it means the vessel is making way through the water.
2. A vessel approaching a blind bend in a river can sound one prolonged blast on the ships' whistle to alert any other vessels to its presence, if another vessel is nearby then they will respond with one prolonged blast on the ships' whistle.

On seagoing vessels in restricted visibility a prolonged blast on the ships whistle means the vessel is making way through the water.

One prolonged blast from the horn of another vessel indicates reduced visibility (and the presence of that vehicle). The reduced visibility may be due to geography, such as a river with significant bends, or weather features, such as fog.
