Marine Traffic (AIS)
AIS is initially intended to help ships avoid collisions, as well as assisting port authorities to better control sea traffic. AIS transponders on board vessels include a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, which collects position and movement details. It includes also a VHF transmitter, which transmits periodically this information on two VHF channels (frequencies 161.975 MHz and 162.025 MHz – old VHF channels 87 & 88) and make this data available to the public domain. Other vessels or base stations are able to receive this information, process it using special software and display vessels locations on a chart plotter or on a computer.

UK Maritime Museums etc.
This page lists about 290 museums and museum-ships in Britain and Ireland, in alphabetical order of their usual names. The list includes the major 'National' museums with budgets of millions of pounds and also many small regional and village museums that are run by dedicated local volunteers with negligible funding. The list is not a detailed guide to any of them, but primarily a means of locating them, contacting them and obtaining more detailed information from other sources. Some of the museums listed may be closed, either temporarily for refurbishment, or indefinitely. Never make a special journey to any museum without first confirming the opening times.
