Here's a nice marine traffic map site:

May be helpful in correlating monitored messages.

I know very little about this except what I have read in the UDXF group. It does sound interesting, thought.

The technology in use here is called "AIS": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Identification_System

A few more replies in the thread mention

Hi Tom,
 
I monitor the GW network. A download of frequencies can be found here
 
http://www.udxf.nl/Globe_Shore_Ship_Freqs.pdf
 
You will need to download Rivet and use the Ship frequencies. There are quite a few posts about the GW logs on here to have a browse through as well.
 
Also, the GMDSS DSC frequencies can be monitored but you will need software for these as well. I use MultiPSK but there are others.
 
It can take a bit of practice to get thinmgs to decode but once you get the hang of, conditions allowing, you should find some stuff to plug into the website.
 
Here is a name that I got earlier today on DSC calling Olympia JRCC Piraeus. Pop this into vessel finder to see where she is now.......
 
SEABOURN SPIRIT
 
HTH,

Yes, thanks for this, it is a great "real time" tracking map for ships.

Any idea if there is any sort of online database like this for aircraft?

Here's a nice marine traffic map site:

Unfortunately, it does not appear that there are AIS-equipped fishers or shrimpers currently off the FLA east coast, but a very interesting site.  Thanks!
