The Rickmers Shipyard siren ,was a limited produced German Pneumatic siren made by Rickmers Shipyard or Rickmers Werft. The siren worked like all the other German Pneumatic sirens utilizing a Diesel engine that powered an air compressor and generator to charge a set of accumulators. Unfourtantly ,They only ended up only producing 5 sirens due to Pintsch Bamag and Hormann being the most popular. None are in service today ,2 still are complete units ,but Hormann HLS-273s replaced them and now sit on top of their heads. The 3rd one was replaced by a Hormann ECN in 2010 ,the head of the rickmers werft was just removed ,and the ECN was place on top. And the last 2 removed in the 1990s.
