Airpress donated our foundation a new compressor for the horn of the ss Rotterdam. In 2010 our foundation took care of ‘the voice of the Rotterdam’, installing a new compressor and a renovating the horn in the radarmast. After 14 years the compressor needed to be replaced. Our volunteer Jan van Pijkeren contacted Airpress who donated us a new compressor. Last Wednesday the compressor was handed over to our foundation. The sound of the horn: The shipshorn of the ss Rotterdam
