foghorn is a fog signal that uses sound to warn vehicles of navigational hazards, or boats of the presence of other vessels, in
foggy conditions. The term is most often used in relation to marine transport. When visual
navigation aids such as
lighthouses are obscured, foghorns provide an audible warning of
rock outcrops,
shoals,
headlands, or other dangers to shipping.
