How to know what ship this is without VesselFinder?
It is the CMA GCM Titus - Container Ship arriving at 0530 |
Spotting ships is easy with VesselFinder.com. Vessels are shown on a map. Click on the ship symbol and see the name and other information. Below are three screen shots. The first is an overview of the Pacific Northwest maritime region. Next zooming in on Puget Sound. Third, Elliott Bay, Port of Seattle. The little red square around the yellow icon shows our selection of the CMA GCM Titus.
Later after sunrise, the Hanjin Tabul container ship arrived. Notice the way cargo is positioned to balance the weight load.
Leaving for Kashima, Japan, the Campanula -- bulk cargo ship. This trip ... logs.

Lastly, a colorful set of flags on this sailboat that seemed to be an advertisement for Garmin, the GPS manufacturer.
