Default AIS Miracle near Liverpool!

Are there any similar sites that track shipping
around the USA? I'd love to see a similar web
page for the Texas gulf coast.

Wonder how long it takes to stop 56,204 gross tons from 14.3
knots...without hitting something solid, of course? Can they see your
sloop? Hell, at 239 meters, can they see their own BOW?!

Keep a sharp lookout...and stay the hell out of her way!
