Ever wondered what that passing ship is called?
Where is it going?
How fast is it going?
What is it carrying?
Then this website is for you.
There's a page to tell you what it's about and how it works.
I can spot ships out of the window and then followed their progress on the map.
It only shows ships of a certain size i.e. the one's required to provide Automatic Identification Data.
If you click around the site you can find several views. The best summary view that I've found appears to use Google Maps (click the flags option, rather than popups).
Pretty cool I think, in a geeky ship spotting way.
Sorry cha0tic, but, for some reason it doesn't work in the Wolverhampton area ;-)
