I assume there was good visibility, so these weren't actually anchor
signals.

Visibility was 2 miles. There were three ships anchored in the area, and
there were no other signals for at least an hour before and after.

They were quite clearly a starboard signal, closely followed by an astern
signal. I expected the 3 toots to carry on to 5, although I couldn't see
any obvious reason.


I wondered if these ships actually manoeuvre while at anchor, and if the
horn was automatically controlled.

I also wondered if a child might have been on the bridge??????
