This might interest some of you.  You don't have to have a maritime background to enjoy the stunning technology.  With this you can look at any port in the world and see the ship traffic in real time.  Click on a ship and you can see photos of it.  Click on the track line link in that box and see the track line of the ship.  Take a look at the Gibraltar Straights going into the Mediterranean Sea.  Look at the entrance and exits to the Suez Canal.

	This is really neat. Locations are pretty accurate too. I was able to look out my window at the harbor and find a few different ships. Through a little research you can even find what they are hauling!

	Up in Seattle, little further north than Tacoma. I'm not sure what the technical name for it is, but I can see the freight docks weather permitting.

	Immediately following the collapse will be filled with violence and total breakdown of law & order. Keep an eye on Greece. It is the guinea pig and incubator for what is coming to Western societies."
