This is a recording of a giant steamship running from woods hole, ma to the island of martha's vineyard, arriving at the vineyard haven port. The sound is of the big engine, and a few other ambient sounds like pa announcements, etc.
The great shearwater (puffinus gravis) is a seabird typical of the island of la gomera, canary islands, spain. This recording of their signature "owa-owa" call was recorded in playa santiago on la gomera in march 2017 with a zoom h2 recorder.
