Place it at the very start of a maritime segment, before narration or titles settle in. Follow it with gentle harbour ambience, then a single Bell Ding Sound Effect Button cue for a deck scene change, keeping this whistle as the only foreground element.

This clip is the long steam whistle of the RMS Carpathia, a single sustained blast lasting about nine seconds. It feels solemn and haunting rather than comic, carrying the weight of an old ocean liner sounding across open water. The recording is from the Carpathia itself, the liner later sunk by U-55 in 1918.
