I have been playing with (AIS) Automatic Identification System.
See the following link for more information

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Identification_System

Check out www.marinetraffic.com it uses Google maps you can see ships or barges in real time. I have a receiving station at my location near Cincinnati Ohio Station (621) KC9HAX

If anyone has a chart plotter capable of plotting AIS information adding a receiver is fairly cheap under $200

If you want to tinker and have a pc or lap top you can build a receiver. I am currently using it to receive AIS packets. And forward to www.marinetraffic.com

1- Need the discriminator output form the receiver (you can use an old scanner)
2- Connect to a laptop with a sound card
3- Use a Program aismon Sound card modem http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aismon/
