YES: I remembered the whistle after I posted....but hoped no one would notice. The Whistle is indeed a problem with Steamboats. Those people seem to have a need to "Announce" their arrival. I have an easy solution to that problem. Annual inspections of whistles and appropriate Taxes according to how many DBs they emit. While we are at it, we need to consider the particulate matter emitted from the stack as well. This could also be part of an annual "Safety" Inspection. NB
