Abstract
Study of the sea noise has been a subject of interest for many years. The
first works in this scope were published at the turn of the twentieth
century by Knudsen (Knudsen et al., 1948) and G. Wenz (Wenz, 1962).
Disturbances called “shipping noise” are one of the important components
of the sea noise.
In this work the results of an experimental research of underwater noise
produced by a small ship of a classic propulsion are presented. A linear
receiving antenna composed of two orthogonal components was used in the
investigation. Identification of the main sources of acoustic waves
related with the ship was achieved. In addition, the intensity of the wave
was measured. The research was performed in conditions of the shallow sea.
