Found this link while perusing Reddit.

It's a flight tracker for boats. After checking Lake Michigan however
there doesn't appear to be a lot of boat activity so perhaps this site
isn't getting all the data.

I have that one bookmarked! It is absolutely staggering how many
millions of tons of shipping are sailing on the briny bonny blue.
I have another site bookmarked at work, very similar to this, that
tracks pirate activity. Very instructive.
Also have a few sites to ship brokers. You would be absolutely amazed
at what you could buy, for cheap.
If you could scrape up a mere million dollars, you could buy and rehab
something and have an abfab awesome giant yacht. A couple of hundred $K
will get you an ocean capable ship. Buy used, not new.

People we used to know bought an ocean-going tug and have had it being
refurbished for several years now. They used to live aboard a sailboat
before they had their kids -- now they're getting ready for retirement
and world cruising.

I recall, back in the days of being an up and coming impressionable
youngster, a fairly well off parent of a friend who constantly used the
phrase: "Retail is for suckers." There's also the phrase: "The two best
days in a boat owner's life is the day he buys his boat and the day he
sells it."
What's the link to the cheap stuff? I'd like to buy a bulk shipment of
off-lease PCs for refurbishment but can't seem to find out where to go
about doing this.
