If they had computers back then this would the ultimate naval hack in for BdU.

Ive seen something similar last year in my hometown port administration building, though it was much more sophisticated (spl?) this is quite cool !!! I never suspected things like that could be left to the public.

DaveU186 · 07-05-09, 04:51 PM

That's very very cool. Just look at the channel.

Tried tracking my lads vessel Zim Shenzhen, sailed from Tarragona (Italy) on 4th heading across the Atlantic to Halifax (Nova Scotia)....a definite convoy route.

Any sightings, please report.

Nice piece of kit.....beats schedule printouts anyday.

It comes with post #179. It goes away again with post #180.

Could you imagine the excitement of knowing not only the size of the tanker (100,000+ tonnes), but also the location, speed and final destination of these ships ahead of time.

jimbuna, Zim Shenzhen went through Gibraltar yesterday so, we won't see it again till it reaches Halifax. Do you know when it is scheduled to arrive there?
