Default ANNOUNCEMENT: ship tracking and weather website

For those that don't look in on sci.geo.meteorology, the following I
know will interest many he-

quote

http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shiplocations.phtml provides the
most recent position of all ships reporting weather conditions to the
VOS. http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/researchships.phtml provides
the same information, but limits the display to oceanographic research
vessels.

From either of these pages, it's possible to zero in on one part of
the world, or to see the track and weather history for a particular
ship.

If you know the callsign of a ship, you can jump directly to that
ship's entry:

Default ANNOUNCEMENT: ship tracking and weather website

Thanks for this interesting link Martin.
As an ex ships Radio Officer - sailing on 3 OBS reporting ships - and 28
years years in BT Radio stations at Portishead and Lands End ....
I've passed on my share of OBS. Its very sad to see only a handful of UK
callsigns now reporting, but then I guess, we've only a handful of ships
left under the UK flag ....

I thought I'd see if I could find the Aurora (P&O), which I know
someone on a cruise, but there are loads of them with that name. How
can I find out which one is the P&O one?
